    jeffrey - its about this

    "the most harrowing shared experience of our lives"

    Thats the line I was objecting to (and all the other times its shoved down our throats one way or another).

    It was not the most harrowing shared experience of our times, not even close, not even in US history, let alone world history.

    And Salon has an international readership - its not just the USA.
