Elvira,
Oh, we knew. They played the same black and white video from 1958 in our school rooms. The thing was, in the 80's, with movies like 'The Day after Tomorrow' it was generally accepted that there wasn't a thing you could do about about nuclear war frying you like an egg and after a while you got bored of even being terrified. So we would watch these old 'duck and cover' videos, shrug, and then go out to recess. That's why Gen-X is rather jaded about a lot of things.

Archilles,
I'm an early Gen X'er, and I remember that movie "The Day After" (it was actually called) being hyped so hard in the 1983. But, as most 'Made-For-TV' movies were back then...it didn't live up to expectation, since the world was still there the next day.

As a 'Gen X' child of the 1970's, I carved my name in at least two dozen of this exact type of desk, sooooooo...........

Bessie, Yes, but did you use it for "duck and cover" drills in school? That's the point, nitwit.
