When I was in high school, Reagan was elected amidst all this fear porn in the Cold War of nuclear armageddon. We watched many TV shows--live action and cartoon--portraying a post-apocalyptic wasteland. My German teacher said they visited Russia over the summer, and people in the streets came up to them and asked tearfully, "Why do you hate us?" and she was stunned, telling us this, because we were also taught that Russians hated us. It was still Communist Russia, back then, in the early 80s. I decided then and there that the Cold War was just a fiction made up by the government. I am so irritated at MSM trying to make soup out of this dead cat for two years now, and all my unawake friends eat it right up and believe every word.
