Sounds like the '50's all over again: Beatnik poetry readings and duck-and-cover drills.
Can that lock-step conformist mentality, institutionalized fear, and the House Un-American Activities Comission be far behind? (You're against the war in Iraq? You're un-American!)
I hope someone at the poetry reading read a poem that told them to take their fear and shove it up their asses. (Like Al-Qaeda is training suicide bombers to take out a Jr. High in East Moline or wherever.)
Welcome to the New American Century.

Hi Lime, nice to see you again, haha. The poetry reading sounds great, what a wonderful idea, especially the accoutrements. Like Mab. I too recall the beat era (was one if you'd believe it, haha).
The other dark incident, too bad. I also recall air-raid drills in kindergarten, covering one's head and hiding under the desk in the event of a nuclear bomb attack. Fuck.
I recall being told that if one saw the bomb explode (the big mushroom) one would be dead. So for a long time I never looked out of windows. True.
anon, Perdita

I'd forgotten about those air-raid drills, I guess each generation has its own demons with which to contend.
Unfortunately, my generation, and Perdita's too, I guess, has the current demons and the duck-and-cover drills of the fifties and I have vague memories of air raid drills in WW2.
Hey Doc. M, they aren't that concerned with Al-Qaeda training suicide bombers, they are concerned with armed maniacs such as the Columbine massacre.

Love the sound of the young one's poetry excercise, great fun I'm sure, and well thought out by the teachers.
The other incident, well something we've not had to put up with since WWII over here, there were and are no air raid or any other panic drills in our schools, apart from building fire drill occasionally. For some defeatist reason our Govn't thought it a total waste of time and money practicing to be blown to bits or vaporised by a nuke.

Now, of course, the police do the work of the terrorists by stopping people going about their business as they choose, closing buildings, (even taking all the rubbish bins {US=trash cans} off the railway stations) and generally disrupting our lives.
And I agree with them. If WWIII had started in the coldest days of the cold war, ten bombs would have killed half the population in four minutes, and they would have been the lucky ones.pop_54 said:
