People need to understand that this is DEADLY SERIOUS. You don’t convey import of an issue like this by smiling

Imagine Peter Jennings, reporting live as 9/11 occurred, nervously laughing as the towers came down. Nope. I can’t either. This…is a WORSE situation in which we find ourselves.

And as I said, I think this doc is terrific in all other respects.
