meta-anniversarial

one year later, i was remembering my own experience of that day. two years later, salvador allende was in my head and i was thinking about the general shittiness of blame as a response. three years later i couldn't be bothered (note the date). today, like a good social scientist, i am thinking about counterfactuals. how far back in history, in policy, would we have to go in order to prevent it? what would the world look like today if it hadn't happened? what if it had happened somewhere else?
