[Hypothetical] An ICBM from China is going to hit your home in 30 minutes

It might be faster to drive away like a coward... or maybe not, judging from the above.

I would shoot it down (I have an old civil war musket). Failing that, I would drive away in a mobile home and laugh at you idiots who only saved your car.
Then, once safe, I would steal someone's boat and floor it to China, Rambo-style. You know what happens next. Give me 5 minutes and it will no longer be China. It will be Wiglaf country.
Of course, that assuming I am at home in Maryland. If I were in college at Pittsburgh, where I have no car and I am right in the middle of the city, it's alot more complicated. Hopefully there would be some attempt at evacuation of the city in which case I would try that, otherwise, there is less to do but start praying, hope that I can get to a priest who will hear my confession and adminster an annointing of the sick in time. It's probably far less likely Pittsburgh will get hit by a nuke then Washington D.C., in whose suburbs I live when away from college.

If it was going to be a full nuclear exchange the best bet is to drive to ground zero and wait...be vapourised in milliseconds rather than, if surviving the blast, have to deal with the radiation sickness, the post-war horrors and sickness, the legions of the injured and sick, disease and pestilence and probably death anyway but far more nasty and lingering...

The reality is China doesn't have many long range nukes, and the US would be mostly intact when the exchange ended. I think its about a dozen nukes currently, even most major US cities would be fine.

Man, they really need to bring back nuclear holocaust education.
Hmm, duck is expensive - would a frozen chicken do?

Wiglaf? When did the infamous Wiglaf return ?
Recently I was elected to public office, so I came back only this month and probably cannot post much in the future. But don't worry, Wiglaf will live on in every tax dollar you pay.
rape that hottie down the block and die with a smile.
errr, i mean, ummm. stuff.

You people obviously don't know that the true power of the nuclear bomb is to eradicate human souls forever. This is the power we put in the button pushers, the pestilant beauracrats. The only thing to do is to get you and your ka out of that situation, and hope that you don't let your bodily remains get evaporated.
