Bife, that makes sense. Watching someone being murdered is going to be infinitely more devastating than visiting Auschwitz (where millions were murdered). I think it needs to be personalised in order to be 'believable' on a subliminal level. Knowing that something is real and experiencing the 'realness' are very different things. The photos of the victims made it real. I found visiting Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam a more powerful experience than visiting Dachau, probably for the same reason.

I agree. I too thought of my visit to Anne Frank's house after reading what Bife wrote. We cannot comprehend the enormity of killing on such a massive scale, but can identify with an individual or family.
PS I had a really good cup of coffee at a cafe just across the canal from the Frank house, and if you ever go back make sure you visit both buildings.
PS 2 - voted. |

| Cheese, I'm still having some server issues. Altho fwiffer.com appears to be working, that could change at any moment, as all my sites have actually been moved to a new server and there are many missing files. I have backed everything up but it would be a good idea not to count on files, etc. being there when you need them, until the dust settles. |

The WAR turned into a slaughter, pretty much...
In third place, with 9 points (3,2,2,1,1)...
They're pen-goin' to war...
Se�n !!
In second place, with 12 points (3,3,2,2,1,1)...
You were right, not a winner but that compelling story drew a lot of votes...
bife  !!
And in first place, with 19 points (3,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,1)...
What a bunch of Bush-hits...
Koli  !!!
Koli, you won the battle and the WAR! Now what will be our next peace?
