It amuses me when people discover that I have a dark side and often a very dark sense of humor.
51 years of near constant trauma PLUS being born in 1971 will do that to a person.
@Shelter I have often been thankful that I was only 2 years old when Kennedy was murdered, else my childhood would have been much worse than it was already going to be. I wouldn't go back to those years for anything. They sucked and I hated them.

Oddly enough, I don't remember being concerned about Russia nuking America. I remember being annoyed at the Russian and US government. I remember feeling worried for the Russian people.
And then there was Germany and the Wall. I feel like that had a bigger impact on me.
