Civil Defense Film For Kids In Case Of Atomic Attack
Yes. In our schools in N.J. they had 3 types of drills.
Fire drill, atomic bomb and air raid.
Atomic bomb we would stand in the hall facing the wall with our arms crossed up in front of our face. For the air raids we would stay in the classroom and get on the floor under our desks.
I'm not sure any of us were really afraid at the time. We just did whatever they told us to do. I was in 5th grade in 1965-66.
I remember as late as 1970 when I was in 5th grade they had us doing drills in the hallway where we would huddle against the wall.

In my american-english word list (which does have the problem that it includes names and doesn't only list word stems, so it has zanier, zanies, zaniest for instance) the counts are:
At 84% vs 66% correct, your version is clearly better for this word list
I tried to promote my variation of this rule for awhile which is i before e always; haven't gotten a lot of traction, but it's sure as shit an improvement

Dude, this is so much better than just the Brad Garrett part. Brad Garrett's father in Everybody Loves Raymond was played by the late, great Peter Boyle. Peter Boyle played the iconic Frankenstein's monster (seen here) in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein. Cool little connection.
OMG!
That's Brad Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond!

Unarmed Man Laying On Ground With Hands in Air Shot
i am just going to add to the opinions and perspectives that @MilkmanDan ,@ChaosEngine ,@dannym3141 and especially @newtboy who i agree with so clearly that i swear we are related.
since many dynamics have already been covered, i.e:police culture,racism,incompetence etc etc.
i shall offer a historical perspective in the ways of the power dynamic.
while this is a power vs powerlessness dynamic dealing with agents of the state,it helps to understand just how we got to this point,and it is NOT the first time we have been here.
see:labor movement of the 30's and the labor strikes,and the response from not only the business community but our own government.
see: the civil rights movement and segregation,and how demagouges used political power to divide by way of racism,and then used police to intimidate,beat and imprison.
there are many MANY examples here in america where the police have been used to suppress and oppress a people or community for less than altruistic reasons,and most certainly not aligning with the ideology we were taught in school the function of police.nevermind the syrupy sweet,idealized picture shoved down our throats since an early age.
so we see on our facebooks,our twitters and/or whatever social media you prefer,that black lives matter...and the counter point,that NO..ALL lives matter.
now this would make sense in a world that never took history into account,or a growing cultural norm of violence and oppression that had been slowly seeping into poor communities (mainly black and latino).
oh wait..
that's right.
social media pundits NEVER fucking consider any of those factors,because just like bill o'reilly,those are pesky nuances and context conflict with their own narrow narrative.
but let us consider them and how they may possibly be a major driving factor in americas current climate.
let us take ferguson as an example,that is a good place to start.
and let us go back to 2008,where we can see the boiling begin to take place in this extremely impoverished community which was already struggling.
the population is a black majority,poor to working poor.home ownership is low,food stamp recipients are high and the future is pretty bleak.
in 2008 ferguson received approximately 18% of it's total fiscal revenue from misdemeanor infractions i.e:traffic,parking,moving violations.small time stuff.basic fines for small infractions.in 2008 that number jumped to 66%.
why?
what happened?
what changed?
well the comptroller of ferguson (and greater st louis),along with HUNDREDS of other smaller municipalities across the country,had bought the rotten fish that wall street was selling in the form of bullshit derivatives.
now wall street and the big banks got their tax payer bailout,but towns like ferguson did not.they lost millions,sometimes billions.this meant pensions were either reduced or outright denied,because there was NO money!
but a town still has to pay police.
fire fighters and school teachers,
clerks and judges,
keep the roads paved and the street lights working.
so what is a local government to do?
can't tax the working class who own homes.you already jacked their property tax to the roof.
can't tax the local business,you already squeeze them as well.
how about those non-property owning people in ferguson?
they need to pay up as well,and let's use the police force to relinquish them of the paltry money they don't have.
to the tune of 66% of all of fergusons revenue.
that is insanity.
so what if you live in ferguson?
chances are you are black,and either poor or working poor.
you make,if you are lucky,20 grand a year and by one man's testimony he paid over 2,000 in traffic tickets in one year.the majority of americans dont see those kind of numbers their entire lifetime.
and what if you began to realize that it was not just you.that almost every person you know or talked to had similar stories.
would you begin to feel a tad bit targeted?
what if the city of ferguson started to become very creative with not only their rules but how they enforced those rules?
what if every year the fines went up?
not remained the same,but actually UP? every year.
what if,as a community people began to actually fear the police? to experience anxiety just by the sight of a patrol car,even though they were not engaging in anything illegal? and who knows...maybe there is some new ordinance on the books that you are unaware of?
would you become paranoid and suspicious of law enforcement?
and then..what if....you started losing friends to cops.people you grew up with being shot in the street,and every time the mayor comes out and calls it a "justifiable killing".
would that make you feel any better?
any less paranoid or anxious?
there was ONE police shooting in ten years and then..as if by magic ..(which is how the media seems to always portray this..shocking news..at 11)..you lose 5 friends in a year.all to cops..all "justifiable".
would you begin to think there was a conspiracy?
targeting you and your neighbors?
i BET you would.
i know i would.
now lets look at the cops.
they are just a tool.
an instrument for the state to uphold the law and write citations for infractions.they dont MAKE the laws,nor the infractions,not even the fines.
they just do what they are told.
and they are told to go into these poor and working poor neighborhoods and write tickets,a LOT of tickets.
do you really think they are unaware of the growing hostility towards them? the looks of disgust,fear and apprehension?
but...this is their job,and they do what they are told.
they see.
they know.
they are aware of the growing hatred towards them,and this makes them anxious..and defensive..and in some horrible,tragic cases...trigger happy.
a natural and normal response to heightened stimuli in the face of great uncertainty.
so they react impulsively and out of fear in a way that ten years ago would have been unheard of.
they think themselves good cops.
they do a good job.
they do what they are told.
and the people hate them for it.
so they respond instinctively and with poor judgement.
we..as citizens,respond with disgust and indignation when a cop abuses his/her authority.we see this as a major moral breach in the citizen/cop relationship,because we feel as agents of the law they should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us...and rightly so,but when you put a human being in a tense and dangerous situation,not of their making,they will fail at some point to react correctly and with sound judgement.
they SHOULD be held accountable,but so should the city council members and the mayor and all the local representatives who created this toxic climate in the first place.
the lesson to be learned here is that nothing is a binary situation when people are concerned.
so when black lives matter protestors address people to make them aware of the situation,this is what they are talking about.the police killing are only a last stage manifestation of a situation that began in 2008 on wall street.
and we need to be aware,because right now it is the predominantly black communities,but soon coming to a neighborhood near YOU.
the poor and working poor have become expendable.no longer relevant to the system.which is why police shootings are being handled the way they are.our value is ever increasingly being judged on how well we can feed the system.
until this disparity is addressed there will continue to be police shootings.people will die and there will be no indictments.
because police do what they are told.
it is up to us to make policy makers accountable for their actions,and in doing so address a toxic climate that both the poor,working poor and cops alike have to swim in.
stop forcing cops to write tickets to fund a city that lost it's savings due to fuckhead bankers.
this blood..all of it..is on those bankers hands.

Ford GT Returns to Le Mans
Um...that means you're saying the original 66 isn't a GT. They didn't install the Gurney bubble until late in the season.
If someone like me, at 6'3" can't drive it, it's not a GT.
Ford GT Returns to Le Mans
I don't care a whit about any performance enhancements they've made since the original, this new one isn't 1/4 as sexy, so they failed. Give me the old school 66 version over this any day, and twice on Sunday.
