I'm realizing I'm not hip enough to know for sure what would be considered pop-culture.
In most communities it is illegal to cry 'fire' in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?

Utah is no longer considered a flyover state.
