Hey no need to apologize... 
It must have been a tough job guarding them, Les. I can imagine it wasn't easy being the target of such strong feeling. They were hard times. I suppose to some extent they were easier becuase as you say we had just one enemy, but then in comparison we also had MAD (mutually assured destruction), which meant that all life as we know it would be over in seconds flat if someone somewhere pressed a button. OK maybe it wasn't really just one click away but that's how it was perceived by the masses and I think that was a heckuva thing to live with compared to the many and non-specific threats of today... :?:
