The American Conservative

[Gdjjr]

From bomb drills to COVID lockdowns, protective rituals based on irrational fear are a mainstay of American culture.

This is a bit tongue in cheek, but dang near spot on.

Yeah. We had the "duck and cover" nonsense when I was in elementary school. The nuns would herd everyone into the hall, have us crouch up against the wall, and give the ritual incantation "Close your eyes, wrap your arms around your head and put your head between your knees!"

At which point, invariably, someone would send a muffled cry of "And kiss your ass goodbye!"

Talk about kicking a nest of nuns. Funny thing was, we were only about ten miles from DC Ground Zero.

The American Conservative is the true, patriotic HEART of our wonderful country. Thank God we exist.
