Reading “The Road” was seriously depressing, and convinced me that one should never ride out a nuclear war. There are just too many unknowns awaiting after the dust has cleared.
The lesson I learned from “The Road” is that it is better to be smart and flee America before the war hits rather than trying to [...]

AMID mounting fears that Iran is planning to obliterate their country, wealthy Israelis are shelling out on underground nuclear shelters in the gardens of their luxury homes.
The shelters, which cost at least 60,000 for a bargain-basement version, are built to withstand radioactive fallout, have fortified walls and doors and generate their own electricity and decontaminated [...]
