2014 Boston Marathon story - overblown? (1 Viewer)

[tjnc09]

Mods really need to think three moves ahead and lock this thread before it goes much longer.

Dude, take it upon yourself to tell me how I am off base. What does the completion of the race signify tomorrow?

You can't be serious. Please tell me you aren't.

Would be nice if we had the same compassion for other's that were bombed, as a result of our our actions none the less. http://nader.org/2014/04/17/boston-baghdad/

2 days after the Bostom Bombing, 15 people were killed and 200 injured in a fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, not because of 2 psychotic killers but our inability to regulate industry. Something the media should have covered but didn't. The whole thing reminds me of the Joker's speech to Harvey Dent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8F_bO5zQXk

What type of thoughts are you looking for?

An intelligent one. One that would change my mind on the national significance of the marathon being run tomorrow. I don't think there is national significance - but it will be dominate CNN tomorrow. In between the coverage of the Malaysian airplane.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that any intelligent response will be over your head

Perhaps you should start by giving your definition of "national significance."
