    My first grade teacher swore WW3 would be over clean water.

    Hes been proven more and more right as time goes on.

      That’s a pretty heavy topic for a first grade teacher. Meanwhile I wasn’t taught about WWII until freshman year of high school.

        GenX has had WW3 hanging over our heads since we could walk. There was a brief respite during the 90s, but that’s over now.

          I was talking to someone the other day about the freedom that was felt in the music and movies of the time due, in my opinion, to the constantly hovering cold war end-of-the-world.
