It is easy to condemn LeMay, Powers, Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, and "General Buck Turgidson", but if you were charged with fighting the Nazis, Imperial Japan, and Stalinist Russia nice guys couldn't get the job done. Ugly stuff. My recently departed friend who survived Vietnam duty couldn't stop to weigh the moral niceties. His father, who had been a World War II Army Ranger, told him, "Come back alive, son." He did. To his credit, he pulled down his weapon to stop other members of his unit from committing war crimes. Many heroes like this went unremarked. |

One reason for your lack of concern may have been that "education". Throughout the period the "experts" grossly underestimated both the likelihood of accidental war and the effects of the war. It wasn't until the mid-1980s that the science demonstrated that an exchange of 100 ten-megaton bombs would have ended human life in the northern hemisphere. |

I do recall watching 'The Day After' and think that one of the ending scenes when Jason Robards goes back to his city/town and gets all screamy at someone trying to rob the remains of his house or whatever, that that particular part was bullshit, the radiation levels would have been way too high, but also the infrastructure of the country had collapsed so there weren't nearly enough law enforcement/troops to keep people form going where they shouldn't. And I would notice when we went to one of the library branches in our county, the building across the street had one of those fallout shelter signs on the wall by the entrance. It's easy to look back now, with the stories about the close calls that happened at the time that we didn't know/hear about and project how everyone was fearful/terrified/scared, but that is bullshit. We weren't. |

I live in California. Most of us only worry about earthquakes when the ground starts to shake.

I'm not kidding. In the average, the Swiss population is highly constituted by paranoid people. It seems that Bezos could have to pay a 50% wealth tax to his ex-wife recently. Could we consider divorce as a form of capitalist run-off? |

She'll spend it all on luxuries, like fur coats and diamond jewelry and expensive vacation condos, so she'll keep the luxury capitalist system moving right along.

I'm keeping a list of who posts in this thread and you're all going to be put up against the wall and shot when The Revolutions comes. Capitalist pigs of the running American dogs!
