I am, as always, astounded that we humans can banter around such figures so casually. Does it really matter if it’s 15 million or 50?
That’s a bunch of people who were killed. I believe that it was Stalin who said that if one person was killed, it was a tragedy. If a million people were killed, it was a statistic.

Does it really matter if it's 15 million or 50 (who were killed?) LOL. Spoken like a true relativist.

Thank you for your reply!

It does to me. God knows every hair on their heads. And whereas I do not know their identities, at least I can try to remember them by appreciating how many there were.Marantha, Jesus!
