I wonder how it compares to growing up in the days of 'duck & cover' drills.

Nuclear disaster drills is what they were called when I was in school. Squatting in the hallway, head against the locker with your hands over your head to protect against potential blown glass next to your classmates...

And people say the world is worse today.

I hear that I was in Highschool when Columbine happened, my school in california was walking on eggshells for weeks if not months.

This is a pretty comprehensive article (for general news media, at least relatively). I'd kinda take long term effects of this kind of system as a given.

It's worse in some ways, better in others. I think we've gained a lot of good, and lost a lot of good too. That's life.

I wanted to switch the channel when 911 happened but only that was one.

I got it that it was not the end of the world as youngin.

As a wise person once said, "You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life."
