It's crazy how many people I know that have that birthday. There are three in my family, alone.
I don't like to remember it. I can understand family members of the victims remembering. But for society, as a whole, focusing on this seems counter-productive to me. It's not about finding practical solutions, it's more like emotional masturbation.
