re: #18 bill d. (b.d.)

The world wide nuclear war drills I went through in elementary school seem so tame and innocent now.

Yeah, weren’t those great? Not bad for tornadoes, though.

But the thing about the nuke drills was you knew the nukes might never come, and if they did you were vapor, and there was nothing you could do about it either way. What’s different today is that kids know it’s all too possible some asshole will wade into their school building with an AR-15 and 30-round magazines hanging down to his butt, shooting whoever comes into his sights. And so the drills take on a grim reality as opposed to the nonsense of the nuke silliness.

Even if there were never another school shooting, the gun crazies should rot in hell for what they’ve done to little kids’ minds.
