What is the real value of a “Day of mourning”?


Let cooler heads prevail, this too shall pass....

My question is does somber reflection result in any benifit other than enabling the spin doctors to come up with a concensus as to the lies that will be told?

It does help. Giving people time to be sad, angry, and then accepting means they won't carry all those unprocessed emotions forward with them.

I came in here expecting to see a joke about the day in Alaska that is almost 24 hours.

>On June 21, Anchorage gets 22 hours of functional daylight.
