There have been at least twice as many threads about Whoopi's 2-week suspension (I don't think the punishment fits the "crime" in this case), then there were about the original offense, or more jarring, when a Texas synagogue and Jews were held hostage, it generated much less discussion and concern than the current suspension of a TV personality.

Some things though - they CANNOT just be shiny objects. The hostage taking terrorist should NOT be a shiny object. Is it because it was 'too tough' to have an in depth discussion about? It's easier to talk about a movie star? And their punishment?

But - we can't have an HONEST discussion about the Shoah? We can't do that as a country? As a site?

I'm rambling now.
