Today in History

Today in my opinion was a rather momentous day in World History. Some events will be judged good by some people some will be judged bad by some. And Some events will hopefully be judged good or bad by both. I will simply list 5 events and it is up to you the reader to decide if this day was a bad day or a good day. Events will be in Chronological order
1 1848 Marx Published Communist Manifesto.
2 1885 Washington Monument is dedicated
3 1948 NASCAR is formed (I don't think more needs to be said)
4 1965 malcolm X is assassinated
5 1972 Nixon goes to China.

So there you have it readers a fine sample of February 21st. So in your opinion was this day a particularly crappy day or was it a good day. Give it a score with 1 being on the crappy side and 10 being on the good side.
