There’s a big dif­fer­ence in opin­ions between those peo­ple that were “there” that fol­low­ing the events as they unfolded and those that were not. There’s a big dif­fer­ence when you know some­one that was directly impacted and lost a loved one. It’s also dif­fer­ent for some­one liv­ing in the “thick” of events — in Wash­ing­ton DC, Man­hat­tan, and Boston ver­sus some­one liv­ing out on a farm in Idaho. There are those that have direct access to infor­ma­tion who still man­age to form a dif­fer­ence in opin­ion com­pared to the main­stream. I sup­pose that no mat­ter what, you will always get peo­ple with fringe ele­ments of think­ing — well-educated or not.
