Interesting article regarding the lessons from history we shouldn't forget.
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Great post, thanks.
Not only does this speak to the importance of a single human life, but it also reveals how smaller abuses, willful neglect and willingness to look the other way can result in unspeakable horror.
Nuremberg trials.
German Judge said, "Those people, those millions of people... I never knew it would come to that. YOU must believe it, YOU MUST believe it."
American Judge said, "It came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent."
Interesting thread here:

subtle
Nothing related to this stupid story should be shown on the news. It's completely irrelevant.
Stupid is as stupid posts.
Because comparing this stupid media-created ordeal to the mass murder of 6 million Jews makes you look like an utter moron.
Bravo. Bravo. You're expert debating technique and well documented case just overwhelms me <NOT>
Gee, I don't know if you are capable of understanding this, but I never talked about the death of 6 million Jews, but the holocaust did follow logically and directly from what I did talk about. I was talking about the NAZI Eugenics program, specifically their euthanasia program for "useless eaters" just like Terri Schiavo. Look at my other post where I link to the specific indictment in the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial (count 2 section 9 of the indictment in the "Doctor's Trial") where German doctor's were convicted of, among other things, doing exactly what has just been done to Ms Schiavo and it was explicitly condemned as a "crime against humanity."
I guess you turn Stalin on his head. Six million deaths are a tragedy, but one death by judicial fiat for no good reason is a good thing? It doesn't seem to bother you that this creates a legal precedent. It doesn't seem to bother you that the holocaust started with one death. Would it have been OK for only one Jew to die? How many would it take before you noticed that it was a bad thing?
But, of course, that line of reasoning actually requires a person with intellectual capacity, so I'll excuse you from that burdensome requirement, since you're obviously not up to it. Better hope you never need a feeding tube to live, since you certainly won't be able to demonstrate any brain activity.
Not to be too condescending, but:
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I'm afraid you're among the referenced "doomed" who cannot learn from history and therefore, very likely, the damned.
God will forgive you but, once you know the truth, you won't be so forgiving of yourself.
Please let it load -- it's 11 mb.
Have headphones or sound on.
