You seem to have softened Mr. Misanthrope ;)

What difference is there between killing children in 1940s Poland because their parent are Jewish and killing children in the 2000s because they "backed" Hamas.

"Conceivably" to what mind is that okay?

We'd all like to hold onto the romantic notion that we saved the Jews from Hitler and gave them a home to prosper. Like having a spoiled nasty child, we can't see some of them for what they are because we're enamored with our own belief in our superiority.

It's why we need misanthropes to see through it. But hey, 82, you've earned a retirement ;)

Can we hold onto our values if we turn away from the simple truth before us?
