It’s interesting reading this thread after the fact.
It sure didn’t turn into a big “yawn” for an awful lot of people.
On the other hand, I didn't think going in, nor after the fact, it was worthy of 24/7, wall to wall reporting like the three days following JFK's murder nor the build up to the Faulkland Islands, Great Britain's troops mobilized on the Q.E. 2.
Americans are too easily led by sensational things . . . . and allowing our kids to be conditioned to be worse discerners of truth.
