Thread Name: BS: Jan. 30: worst date ever?
Subject: Jan. 30: worst date ever?

Is January 30 the worst date ever? Or at least the worst date in the 20th century, just passed? Consider the following:

January 30, 1933: Adolf Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany.

January 30, 1948: Mahatma Gandhi is assassinated.

January 30, 1972: Britsh troops open fire on unarmed civil rights demonstrators in Derry, NI, killing 13 and wounding many more.

Need I say more?
