Atomic Cafe Part Zwei......3-17/ March 22

I. Many of the bombs were still tested in the desert area around trinity, and later they used Bikini Atoll to test nuclear weapons.

II. Like last class we continued to watch the Atomic Cafe movie and then discussed it. In the video today they showed things like how kids wore biological protection suits and how they had these big drill for bombing. In the discussion we talked mainly about the ethics in the use of the Atomic Bomb. It was wishy washy whether or not dropping and using Atomic bombs is ethical.

III. I learned today that people had access to those yellow sweet biological suits.

IV. I would like to know how much those bomb shelters cost to build

V. I feel that the 50s would have been a crazy time to live in. I think the US was way too paranoid about being bombed by Russia with nuclear weapons, and by communism, that they did not live enough.
