Many years ago I saw the instructional clips in a movie called The Atomic Cafe, as a double feature with Dr. Strangelove - with Ross, as I recall. <br /><br />Duck-and-cover is as reasonable a response as anything when you have no clue what to do. But if you have a concrete basis for saying, hey, this response would be constructive and that one wouldn't, then you learn pretty quickly that hiding under your desk (or humiliating nine-year-olds) is not helpful. It's theater.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526470032837468393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-65342506332093856802011-05-04T08:31:13.672-04:002011-05-04T08:31:13.672-04:00I agree with you here.

The fact that Ground Zero is a hole in the ground and not a building says more about who we are as a people than the fact that we finally caught Bin Laden. I have been thinking about how we were taught to hide under our desks in the event of a nuclear attack...cause that is the best defense against radiation?? As long as we have fear and intimidation, then we can be distracted and controlled.Robert Stockhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609998412709380456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-79152518250685685652011-05-03T10:30:29.081-04:002011-05-03T10:30:29.081-04:00Here's a good rundown on what we inflicted on ...Here's a good rundown on what we inflicted on ourselves as a reaction to the 9/11 attacks:<br />http://www.theagitator.com/2011/05/02/he-won/RossinDetroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240102870398060564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-3689404436320299392011-05-02T19:41:45.273-04:002011-05-02T19:41:45.273-04:00Yeah.

And the TV stations will make it out to be some kind of chronic problem, not an isolated incident that they themselves aggravated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526470032837468393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453315942766344869.post-57603884704076985652011-05-02T11:06:41.160-04:002011-05-02T11:06:41.160-04:00Good points.

It was widely publicized and a few days later there was more, apparently by different people. There's no situation that television coverage can't make worse.RossinDetroithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240102870398060564noreply@blogger.com
