Never again?

I got curious about the issues presented in our reading for this coming Monday from the PBS Frontline program, did a bit of Wikipedia-ing and stumbled across this Human Rights Watch report on the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Wow.

I'm utterly stunned. How could any one person (or small group of people for that matter) plan such a barbaric orgy of unrelenting violence? It's just unimaginable. Even on already violent continent. Wow.

Three things:

1) I take issue with your "unenlightened continent" comment. But I guess you could have assumed I would. So I won't rant about that.

2.) My International Organization class I took my senior year of undergrad inexplicably involved a three week long case study of the Rwandan Genocide. The things discussed in the HRW report were basically what we talked about those three weeks. I have a couple texts about Rwanda still if you'd like to borrow them. They're great reads and more scholarly than Wikipedia.

3.) I'm going to tell Sara you not only used Wiki but admitted to the Blogosphere that you used it. I won't be held responsible for what she does to you. <3

Oh please. Everyone uses wikipedia even if no one talks about it-- y'all are just closet wiki-ers.

And maybe if you weren't trapped under a bookcase you could return phone calls and get away from the creepy mocha ppl (wanna hear about my internets research project on the history of yarn????? hmmmm????)
