agree

What I am saying is travel, learn, visit these places. But dont put them on some ridicules pedestal. The travesty is the crime against humanity and we can all learn from that... but the significance should not lie in rhetoric such as 'anti-Semitism' and the 'holocaust.' The product of that is people like Norway.

My point was mianly aimed at the whitewater rafting remark. I basically don't see a problem as we both agree its a place to educate oneself (albeit with the awareness of Edward Said's thoughts on orientalism,) Surely, tieing the two together might bring lesser aware people to the sight. Not everyone shares the same sentiment as you from the offset.

Anyway, this is surely not the arena for such a discussion and I doubt we'll solve the worlds problems on Wrath... however its always nice to have discourse with fellow norwich fans on another topic.
