Go to Naut's Thoughts

- Go to History repeats itself – under a different flag…
I am also very nervous about this, Naut (and we are much closer to it). I'm glad there is universal outrage, perhaps he will listen... naive idiot that I am, I dearly hope so.

Sometimes when I examine what I've learned about what the peoples
who share this world have endured/survived I feel like signing up for the Mars expedition. All these folk who quote their creator as the great benevolent loving father who wants them to kill everyone they classify as "other" just boggle my pitiful brain. Those who think what anyone else does is their business (as far as what they eat or drink, what work they do, whether or not they have children) have their brass-plated nerve. So, old gossipy hags of both genders and all political persuasions can haggle and blow till the cows come home. I'm gonna tend my knitting, watch '70s reruns and hope they blow themselves to hell and leave the meek to enjoy the earth they will inherit.

It reminds me of the old line that those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it, and it seems like that is happening in this instance.

Handng him over would be a total loss of respect for anything honest or right.

There is definitely a terrible purge and what is heartbreaking is the people seem to approve...well no point them crying later.
Of course girls will be banned from school and thousands will die. How can i write that without crying? Feeling something?
The USA will not give up that Clergy too easy me thinks.The double spin has started which tells me they will drag everything out for a long time.
Turkey is heading for a dictatorship.

A tragedy indeed. A horrible worsening tragedy that seems to be escalating daily. Human intervention seems impossible.
