If I were god-emperor of America, I would apportion part of what we earmark for defense and national security for public education and libraries.
But what about private institutions, you ask. My response? Fuck them niggas. Education is a public good.

The French nuclear test on May 1, 1962. It is known as the Béryl incident - apparently, there was serious release of radioactivity. But the film does not mention it at all. Maybe that was why it was made www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHMr... The explosion is at 11:45.
