No one is saying to bring back the McCarthy hearings. But let's show them how terrible those ideas might be.
I grew up in West Haven, just a few houses up from the fire house on Benham Hill Rd. I used to spend a lot of time in that fire station, my friend's dad was a fireman there.

Small world, thanks for your service.
I lived right at the top of Benham Hill. Every time I wandered into that fire house, one of the guys would buy me a bottle of coke from the old fashioned machine, and ask me where the snappers were biting.
