Did your family have a bomb shelter in the 50s?

Popular notions are ALWAYS wrong. If you don't know that,

then you've



haven't studied history and you're to young to have

learned it from



experience. Hardly a century goes by without doomsday

predictions becoming



popular notions. I lived through the global cooling

hysteria of the 70's, so



please spare me the ignorant ranting of the true

believers.



Someday the earth may cool to absolute zero or heat to a

million degrees. I



don't know. All anybody "knows" is what they think the

historical record



shows: that the earth gets really cold and the earth gets

really hot.



The rest is the clucking of hens.

Funny you should ask. In '63 my father built an underground house
with 5,000 square feet. The roof of the house was 16 feet
underground. It was such a hit they had to move out and open it to
the public for a year, just to let the hoopla die down so they could
move back in without the doorbell ringing constantly. The house was
featured in Life magazine and Walter Cronkite had a segment called "Tu
Tu's Tour of the Underground House." Tu Tu was an 75 pound Chow Chow
who loved cameras, posing if you just held your hands to your face
while saying "Smile." It was such a hit, my Dad built one for the
World's Fair in New York. Made the Wall Street Journal and hundreds of
papers across the country.



So you're a troll?



Never lived there myself. I was in Viet Nam at the time.


What were you doing in Nam in '63?




Snuffing gooks.


I was only 11 at the time...I remember Buddhist monks setting fire to
themselves..



Collateral damage. The Buddhists were the class of the True Believers.
