re: #97 Learned Pie Of Zion

Look, it was 50 freaking years ago!

Yeah, I’d just like to emphasize this. This might have been one of those defining moments for the boomer generation, but for many of us who have families, jobs, lives, etc., it’s as much ancient history as the Visigoth sack of Rome. I just can’t bring myself to care.

Also, yeah, he was President, but it was one man. It’s not the same as Pearl Harbor or 9/11, where thousands of lives were lost. In a society dedicated to the idea that “all men are created equal”, it should be considered no worse than a bystander caught in the crossfire of gang turf battles in inner-city Baltimore.

I dunno, that’s just how I feel.
