Twenty-five years ago today...

The Day After aired on ABC. I was twelve at the time, and alone in the house. Mom told me not to watch it, but I did anyway. I was scared half to death! It was all anyone could talk about at school for the next week or so.

Twenty-five years later, the Soviet Union is gone, and many of our missles have been dismantled. But there is still a big chance that nuclear weapons could still be used in warfare or terrorism. The movie may be hokey by today's standards, but the threat is very real.
