        Have you seen the Hanford billboard signs that show children being killed by cars? Those are pretty terrifying.

        A buddy of mine in the Canadian Forces had it, told me about it and how he wound up in hospital for a spell. I had never even head of it before that. I never forgot that story!

        Um...Sort of like “screwing Hitler.” These images are...weirdly disturbing...yet, I cannot look away. WWII: good times for sloganeering...
