Why This

The world today feels to be in a sorry and contemptible state.  In every domain of individual and organizational intercourse it’s as if people, even whole nations, have chosen to selectively forget or, worse, ignore the lessons of the first half of the 20th Century.  They have forgotten the scores of millions killed and maimed and all the human treasure turned to ash.  Humanity has become indifferent, even inured, to the cost and consequence of such hate-fueled horror, and everywhere is turning its back not only on progressive notions of tolerance, compromise, and respect, but even on commonly revered transcultural character traits like courage, fairness, decency, integrity, faithfulness, and honesty.  Cruelty and violence have become justified normal behavior, especially among the so-called conservative-right of the world—even in the United States, where we claim to know better.  The Crusaders, Cossacks, and Brown Shirts have returned.

This all just pisses me off beyond words.
