The Rwandan genocides *were* in the news a lot when they were going on, and I often wondered then why there was so little effort to stop it.

I think I put the situation out of my mind by force, though, and the reason I had to do it was so incredibly stupid, that I feel compelled to share it. And I *am* being serious about what I'm about to say, and it *is* going to sound like I'm an idiot, but I assure you that I had no control over what went through my mind (and what started going through my mind once again when this thread got goint).

Whenever I heard about the Rwandan situation and the tribes involved, I could *not* suppress my mind from playing an Al Jolson soundtrack, with him singing "Hutu-Tutsi, goodbye! Hutu-Tutsi, don't cry!"

I know, I know...it is sick, but it isn't like I tried to think it up on purpose.
