Fionn,

You are entirely correct about my using the 9/11 as a referemce point. I rarely use it because with what Bush has done to the events of that day has been to sanitize it fir politcial consumption. To me, it still represents a day where most people people were absolutely horrified. Guess I haven't been been able to compartmentize it as well as the general population.

I should have searched for a less watered down event that everyone could relate to. But I can't think of any that carries the universality of horror that most everyone would get. And that was the point I was trying to make in explaining the mindset of the GUEST post in question.

You perhaps have stated it better.

Peace

Bobert
