I used to think Americans would never forget if over 1 million of us had died of anything, but damn that was wrong.
@Galletasalada turns out that for most of "us" those dead are pretty much all "them"
@Galletasalada We are living in the era of fast-moving news and events, and everything is quickly forgotten once the next OMG item comes along.
@Galletasalada Most Americans seem to have forgotten "never forget" too. Or flat up deny it. It's not even a small minority position to deny it happened anymore, and that's terrifying.
