RP>Where is the love?

Spoken like half of a long-married, suffering couple. Time for couple's
counseling!  Or group counseling, in this case. We've known each other long
but not necessarily well, and let our knee jerks respond for us. As one such
jerk, I propose that we re-evaluate the Holocaust in light of what we now
know to be humanity's ongoing genocidal nature. Sure, six million seemed
like a tragedy back then, as Eric implies (or as I extend Eric's
implication), but is it more tragic than the slaughters in Africa happening
now?And does current media coverage make any real difference in how we the
puebla react to genocide on TV? Would TV have affected the course of WW2?

hmming,
Carol
