That line was spoon-fed to us at dinner along with the meatloaf and Birdseye frozen peas (it wasn't until much later in life that I discovered all peas are not frozen).<br /><br />Our parents had been through the war and believed what our government told them about what was happening 'over there'. Few of them had ever been to Europe or even considered going there to be something they might ever do. Maybe this notion was a holdover from what conditions were like immediately after the war, and maybe part of our government's propaganda to sell the Marshall Plan and similar programs.<br /><br />Along with this picture of widespread starvation, I was taught all sorts of curious things. All Russians were grim-faced, humorless people who blindly believed what their government told them (except, of course, that their government lied, while ours always told the truth). All Russians went to bed at night with only one thought in their minds - destroy all Americans. Wow, with an enemy like that (they were 'the enemy', weren't they?), we'd better shape up and support our defense industry, no questions asked.<br /><br />Thank god those times were so short-lived, and that our government never again tried to paint for us a picture of the world that was inaccurate. And I'm glad that all of you Brits who weren't starving drove around in Rolls Royces, stopping by the side of the road, wherever you might be each day, promptly at four, to be served tea and scones by your butlers, serving staff, attendants, and footmen.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-20555078117122099282009-11-11T08:49:30.001-08:002009-11-11T08:49:30.001-08:00Ok, it says, Pottery Weds , here but the Blogfathe...Ok, it says, Pottery Weds , here but the Blogfather says it was pottery Tues... which is it?<br /><br />Oh, wait this is the Left Coast, I forgot about the time variableZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787377470200331937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740572667294775424.post-86374562260345858932009-11-11T06:49:06.612-08:002009-11-11T06:49:06.612-08:00Can I use that excuse for my boss?

And coal was much too valuable to eat; if we were ever lucky enough to find a piece of coal on the slag heap we saved it to carve into a clog. The only thing that kept us going was knowing that little American kids were being told to eat everything on their plates to help us starving children in Europe. But we did our bit too. Even though we only had a few baked beans and a bit of stewed cabbage for dinner (on a good day) we had to clean our plates to help the starving children in Africa.<br /><br />OMG.
