Fallout shelter!!! At my primary school in a small village in England, they would run us through emergency procedures in the above ground reenforced huts that they used during WW2. Sadly, I knew enough that atom bombs were worse than V2's and you probably wouldn't even get a chance to kiss your ass goodbye.

I have a fallout shelter sign on the wall of the building opposite me outside my kitchen. So everytime I do the dishes I have a sense of impending doom. Perhaps I should give up washing dishes?

where those quonset huts used by the pilots? but why would they run you kiddies through emergency procedures in the 70's, there was not much going on. england, that mighty fortress, that island, sorry, i was reading some of churchill's speaches. he was a great man for his generation and i believe for all generations. if you read his speaches you can see reasoning for this iraq war. i wonder, if there was ever a need to run to a fallout shelter, would i be holding my 4 month old grandaughter and two grandsons and wondering and worrying for their safety. i was never afraid of anything in my life, i was strong and a well trained ranger and i knew that other soldiers were married with children and they were always thinking of their families and i was happy with the thought that i had no wife or children to think about coming home to. my close friend's two sons just came home from iraq, i knew them when they were little boys in my sons school. i'm happy they're back i pray all the soldiers come home soon.

Why can't everyone just get along, and then all the soldiers can become bakers, ballet dancers and rock stars? Because we fight over beliefs, land, power, money and the last piece of wooly mamoth. sigh.

consider this catherine, in families there is fighting, arguments and over money, position, loves and other non-important things and to make my statement even more true, consider the Bible, cain slew able!!!!! there were, in the image of God, two brothers, and one killed the other. there will never be peace in this world because it IS the world and not heaven. you seek heaven or a heaven-like existance on earth, forgetaboutit. maybe some day, when God comes back.
