Sometimes I miss the commies. My Kaar Conalert II and Morrow receivers
stand silent. Other than that little detail of obliterating the world
several times over, they had some cool toys. And the Cold War really
drove technology to new heights, beyond anything we thought possible.
Our new-age socialists are nowhere near as interesting or clever.
Instead of 'Duck and Cover' it becomes 'Stop and Shake your head in
Disgust'.
