Rational versus Emotional

Two more days of voting in the Weblog Awards of 2005.

To vote for Michael Yon as 'best media/journalist blog' go here.

To vote for Normblog as best UK blog go here.

Norm has two interesting articles, crushed up against each other to make the flavour more intense.

The first is about what "ordinary" Germans knew from 1941 onwards, with regard to the mass murders taking place in the concentration camps, read the whole thing here.

The second is what we "ordinary" people know about the mass murders taking place in Darfur even as I type, read the whole thing here.

Rationally we know this is happening. Emotionally it hasn't touched us here in Europe. It certainly doesn't bother any African countries' heads of state. And it's happening there on their doorstep. Plus ca change.
