CANDC, I grew up thinking I was responsible for turning the crank that made the world turn. I believed I was responsible for everything in the world. I also believed that when anything went wrong it was my fault. I put a lot of hard work into therapy to learn I'm only responsible for myself and my actions. Life is a whole lot less stressful as a result.
Sidestepper, I've discovered that we had lots of company thinking duck and cover was stupid. Most of us didn't have the courage to question the teacher. Good for you!
I'm about a third of the way through the book at this point. What's really sad is that the book talks of problems in the Middle East. The same crap is still going on today half a century later. I wondering if the book ever made a banned book list because of the terms used for racial minorities. The words were in common usage back then, but are not acceptable today. I've heard of other books being banned for the same sort of language.
