There is a small documentary this morning on the BBC: I survived Cambodia's Killing Fields. It is the BBC's image (right), although I have my own. I first visited the Killing Fields when there still were human bones and shredded clothes protruding from mass graves on the edge of the vast plain. A young man took me there on a motorbike, over dreadful roads. In fact, we came off the motorbike. At the end of the BBC documentary, a survivor says: "It could happen any minute if you are not aware of it." OBSERVATION: I myself have been aware of this in general, and it troubles me in particular to find ideology everywhere around me -- at least in the circles that I move in. Where is the tipping point? and how much is there that we are unaware of already?
