Ruddy is right on.
As a young boy I remember "Bert the Turtle" instructing us school kids how to "Duck and Cover" in preparation for a Soviet nuclear strike. Since I lived in New York City (potentially ground zero), myself and my pals were fully aware than it was a wasted exercise but participated just the same.
Since those days, the "Nanny State" has grown into the mess we see today.
The shrinks running the public schools today are more frightened about the potential residual effects such warnings might have on the kids than the actual threat itself.
Why have we allowed America to decline so quickly?
