In reply to you know what i was afraid of

Hinding under our desks or against the wall out in the hall on the top floor of a tree story school building 30 miles from a primary target.

How useles was that ?

But the Cuban Missle crises did scare the willies out of me.

Helan siad. "You see all their lives, ever since they've known anything, they've lived under the shadow of war-atomic war. For them the abnormal has become normal. All their lives the have heard nothing else, and the expect it"
"They're conditioned," Randy saud. "A child of the nineteeth century would go quickly mad with fear, I think, in the world today. It must have been pretty wonderful to have lived in the years, say, between 1870 and 1914, when peace was the normal condition and people were really appalled at the idea of war, and believed there'd never be a big one. A Big one was impossible, they use to say. It would cost too much. It would disrupt world trade and bankrupt everybody. Even after the first World War people didn't accept war as normal. They had to call it The War to End War or we wouldn't have fought it"

I hope you've saved all of your TPM blogs and have put them somewhere for all to see. If not, get to it!

As for that well-dressed biddy in my avatar--good thing she can't see me in my everyday north woods get-up. She would NOT be pleased.

Dear Richard, (and I mean that in the nicest way), you must know that all liberals are bike-riders. Or is it that all bike-riders are liberals? Whatever--they're not out there buying and crashing cars, so they're useless as economy-drivers.

Hope that explains things.
