Waco

"You must be older than the burning of the Branch Davidians' compound to be served in this establishment."



Tragic in its own right---the children who were the reason for the FBI standoff in the first place perished in the flames as well as their captors---the incident also serves as a capstone for the utter dementing of some portion of the American public, who believed their government to have murdered, deliberately slaughtered its own citizens because they believed in home-schooling and god and the second amendment (I may be misstating this theory; it was never well articulated to me). 

But the later reverberations of this can wait another year.
