Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it

Yesterday was December 7. 64 years ago, over 2000 people were killed when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, starting World War II and eventually killing and wounding over 500,000 Americans.

Today is December 8. 25 years ago, John Lennon, and only John Lennon, was killed.

Which do you think got more airtime?

If you looked at the national news, the quote by Stalin is quite correct. "One death is a tragedy; a million (or 2000) is a statistic."
