During WWII the Puyallup fairgrounds used to be an internment camp[1]. Growing up in Puyallup, we were taught what had happened. WWII -- specifically Japanese internment -- is a big part of our history curriculum. I think you have to find a balance. On one hand, creating the bomb that ended WWII was a huge part of their lives and is a huge part of their history. I don't think you need to throw that away. But I don't think the bomb should be cheered for any reason, other than perhaps ending half of the bloodiest war we've (perhaps ever) seen. This is something that, I think, they'll grow out of. You can only hold on to the vitriolic or blindly patriotic view of the bomb for so long, and not many of my generation hold the same beliefs that our parents and grandparents do (regarding the bomb). Sooner or later it'll just be another "thing" in the town -- a folksy sort of reference that reminds you of the 1940s -- but that's about it. Anyway, very interesting article. Let's cleanup Hanford please. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Harmony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Harmony
