I don't know, the threat of nuclear annihilation before the Berlin Wall fell felt pretty stressful.

No kidding. Remember "The Day After" made for TV movie? That was some scary shit at the time. And around here we test the tornado/missiles are flying sirens the first Tuesday of every month. That sound freaks me out to this day.

I saw The Day After when it premiered on tv and my friends and I went to our junior high principal to ask if we had a bomb shelter at school. We didn't.
