And by “affording,” I mean “bearing.” Can you bear a certain something? Like nuclear fallout? Can you afford it? Is it a possibility you should weigh? A few signs point to clear skies and a healthy air intake for us, for me, but a few other signs indicate that a nuclear bomb will explode and I will absorb gamma rays that will corrode my cells and turn me cancerous. These signs point to nuclear fallout, and they are real. Nuclear fallout is a possibility, and you need to think about that. Can you afford nuclear fallout? Should you move away from the government testing zone in order to decrease the chance that you will be affected? But you should really think about this move: you relocated to Nevada or Arizona or wherever the hell it is that they do all that nuclear shit because it was cheap and you really liked it there. It was a nice place and it did a lot for your mood. You’ve been happier since you moved there. But now this. Should you freak out and just leave because of the treat of nuclear fallout, or should you stay and enjoy it there in your cul-de-sac, the round suburban comfort-n-joy dream that you may never get to have again if you leave? Risk. It’s all about risk-taking. Cul-de-sac fattiness with the risk of nuclear fallout, or a fleeing, a fleeing into… a non-nuclear what?
