Lonesome wonders how many Shakespeares we lost in the holocaust. Well I'd say we were unlucky if we lost just one. Billions and billions of us so far, and just the one Shakespeare to show for it. To think we might find one among a mere six million or so is stretching it a bit. I don't make light of the holocaust, but I am bothered that one-million-plus hatcheted to death in Ruanda, out of a total population of 4 or 5 million, doesn't come close in popular recollection. About 55 million died in WW2. Something like 100 million were killed by wars in the 20th century. Right now we're trading diamonds with militias for which slashing the arms off kids is a defined strategy.

Just for once I'm sorry to see Brendy apologising - I was with him until he did. Kendall wants to get his head around that fact he gave us, that a guy was murdered for missing a penalty. (But there's an "o" in Colombia, as someone pointed out in another thread.)
