An excerpt.
What the hell can these movies actually tell me that I didn't already know? I remember that day, thank you. I don't need to see it turned into popular entertainment, just like I don't see the point of trembling in fear for the rest of my life that something like that might happen again. It's a rotten way to live.
FDR was right. Fear itself is the enemy. It makes you do stupid things. It makes you close your eyes because you think it'll make the monsters in the closet disappear, too. Wallowing in fear does nothing. Feeding that fear is a true crime. Lying about it to entertain the masses or make a political point, however...well...that's just a sin.
