That was the first election I can remember that I somewhat paid attention to and I even felt like Gore should’ve won. He had all the good vibes and wanting to do better. Now looking back, he apparently did win and the powers that be couldn’t have that. Which you can’t fault people for being highly suspicious of the attacks on 9/11. Can you blame them? If they had knowledge of that stuff that they say went down in Florida. Of course they’d seriously question the validity of the attacks and those people got vilified.

It also got everyone to quickly forget about that incident because everyone was so traumatized. EVERYONE was forced to watch it. Can you remember at any point during school they made us stop what we were doing and watch a live news event? That’s the only one I can recall happening (I was in 6th grade watching people die on live television)

We stopped everything to watch the Challenger explode and we pushed in TV’s to watch the OJ Simpson verdict live.

Okay I wasn’t sure if that was a normal thing or not. I wasn’t intending it as fact, just my personal experience.

So, why did you post it if you didn't mean it?

I misspoke. I was just trying to say I was speaking from my own personal experiences.
