ORIGINAL: garyFLR Not that I often quote Nazis, but, as Adolf Eichmann said: 'Kill one person, that's murder, kill six million people, that's a statistic'. I hasten to add, I don't agree with that sentiment [:)]. Eddie Izzard did a bit where he says that once we get to a certain number of murders, our mind just can't comprehend it and we numb to it. It goes something like: "You kill a person. They try you. You're convicted. You go to jail. You kill 5 people. They send you to Texas. They hit you in the head with a rock and you're dead. But, you get up around 1.2 million people (He was speaking about Pol Pot, I believe) and it's almost like our reaction is: '1.2 million? Really? You must have a very busy day planner!'
