NOT EVERYONE CHEERED
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2005 1:18 pm
I didn't and couldn't. For ME to do so would have been an act of ingratitude.
No matter what the circumstances [including death], for the greatest nation in the world's Commander in Chief to be forced out of office before the term has expired is simply too distressing.
Yes, I recall [sadly] hearing the cheer as well as where I was. Later I learned that such a reaction was not replicated in the camps with whose teams Alton competed. To this day I wonder if there was a sociological [rather than genetic] explanation for this difference.
This is buttressed by the fact that most often pollsters can interview 1,000 individuals and predict within 1% how 150,000,000 persons will vote.
