Yup, it works. Thank you. I don't remember this feature from the few times I had signed in before.

I note that someone here was too interested in getting a snide remark across than in helping someone out.....

Missed a word - always. They don't always give the MOE here, while they always give it in the U.S. I was pretty surprised, this was a poll (a while back), several pages with charts and analyses and all, and no MOE. And as I said, the answers contradicted.
Thank you for the analysis, BTW.

Actually, the interviewer is better than I would have expected.

Main point: If you kill somebody for teaching or practicing Judaism, and you are a fire-breathing atheist, exactly what have you used to kill him? You are splitting hairs. Atheism is the most intolerant, murderous religion that ever existed. I do not mean, of course, that this applies to all atheists, or that is inherent; I am only looking at the death toll. (Judaism also killed lots of people, but less than the others.)

I will not try to defend the precise figure, but it is WAY over 5 million. (Jung Chang's figure for China is 70 million.) The six million figure for the Holocaust also includes a lot of indirect deaths; of course I am including them. Speak to someone who remembers the early days; how the government intentionally destroyed simple commerce and family life. When you make an omelet, you are responsible for the eggs you break.

I presume, by the way, that the people who researched the holocaust were fanatical anti-Nazis. I still trust their figures. Hating evil does not make you a bad researcher.
