How did we ever become whatever we are/were/am/is/will be?

Brother Dave did this bit:

“Where the best place to be in case the bomb drops?”

“Don’t make no difference. Jes as long as you can say, ‘Whut was that’?”

How did we ever become the Champion of the Free World?

The Bastion of Capitalism?

The Shining City on a Hill?

The Cradle of Modern Western Civilization?

Yeah Kids, Duck and Cover (and while you’re down there, kiss your ass goodbye.)

OK. I suppose it was ‘The Age of Innocence’ (Or maybe the ‘Age of Stupid People’)

I did those duck and cover drills just like everyone else. I suppose that makes me stupid too. It was a different time. Different place. And folks wondered why I wanted to go some other place. Eventually I did. I went to Egyptian/Israel war zones and felt finally safe.
