Which would prefer following an all-out nuclear exchange?

Put on some fresh Depends and go about your business.

Virtually anyone living outside the perimeter of a target area. 

But it's what life will be like for those survivors is what you have to consider before answering this question.  It could lead to eventual human extinction due to the "nuclear winter" which some propose would result.  But that's just theory and it's just as likely that many will survive the whole thing including the after effects.
But think about what living amongst the remains of a totally destroyed civilization would be like.  You would go from the soft life we have now to the hardest struggle human beings have ever had to face.  And you would make that transition literally overnight.

So which would you prefer?  To survive or not to survive,  that is the question.

Just put the cursor over the military base or important defense site closest to you and test out the blast radius of the various weapons the tool allows.

I live 8 miles north of NAS Pensacola. If the warhead targeted there is under 500 kilotons, I might be okay (by a hair).
