About bombs and guns I remember, when I was a kid, that continuous "americans-will-throw-us-an-atom-bomb-quite-soon" mantra. And I admit - I even believed it for a while, until my parents explained me the basics of propaganda (my mom was a journalist) and I sort of relaxed. But it was THEN and the world was characterized by clear polarity. Now the politicians have succeeded to make us paranoid about everything and everybody. Yesterday there was a TV talk show about selling/owing guns and most of the people told that owing a gun at home and shooting all kinds of criminals and other suspicious people should be rewarded!!! Gosh, and I even haven't got a tie (or I have mislaid it) - what should I do??? Peeter PS: From which distance would it be possible to hit a terrorist bomb with a Parabellum? Any advice?
