10. I'm sure the reaction would have been far less

if any of the people we're supposed to hate had been the victims. There would have been a reaction to the loss of life, but not the support for them to do what they do.

I think, too, that it was a direct attack on the press that whipped things up into such a frenzy here. However, I don't feel most members on this site would have reacted similarly if the ones attacked had been (or associated with) Fox News. Their "freedom of the press" would have been dismissed as unimportant or unworthy of protection/protest.

So, will the content of that trashy novel influence what you end up painting?
