"active" shooters but it was still murder by psychopaths.
The other striking thing was during the Vietnam show when they had
Cronkite saying future presidents should have to stand in Arlington
Cemetery when they decide to take the nation to war again (while he
was standing in a sea of tombstones). That hit me hard.

Man, 16-17k is a lot indeed, considering the population back then. What is it now, like 15k or so?
