| Here is my first trivia question, for now they are school related. What so-called "war" spawned the dueling slogans "Better Dead Than RED" and "Better Red Than Dead" in the 1950's? Winning Answer get's a prize badge! Note: Sorry that my userbars are not showing up, I'll see the problem and then post them. | |

| I'm not sure what it was called >_< But "Better death than Red" was an anti-communist phrase. And it was used by the anti-communists in the United States to express their views on communism and politics. | |
