world view

As much and maybe, as about as eighties as any eighties child can be, me, what does being an eighties child like that do to my world view?

1. cold war
2. AIDS
3. the war on drugs

Cold War
The Russians, our sworn enemies for eternity, will drop nuclear bombs on us at any moment and we're all going to die in a spectacular burst of a thermonuclear fireball of atomization.

AIDS
If you have sex, then you will die a very painful and shameful death.

The War on Drugs
If you use drugs, you will cause irreparable harm to your community, and you will die of a drug overdose.

In other words:
1. death by nuclear war
2. death by sex
3. death by drugs

Yep.  That's the environment in which i grew up.
