Evil only thrives when men of good will refuse to take a stand
To live a moral life in an immoral society...

I could go on...

But reality is that at this point we have to consider why our leaders are NOT taking a stand

I fear the tour of those facilities in 2002 and their refusal to cry foul are part of the answer

After all, those who take an inch from the mafia, are owned by the mafia

That is all

(Oh and History will be very kind to Dennis Kucinich for trying to do the right thing, and very harsh to all who stood on the way, including the Good Americans)

4. This is why evil usually thrives in human societies.
This is why roughly 90% of nations throughout history, have abetted evil, or literally been ruled by it. This includes Imperial Amerika (2001-?).

Exhibit A: 8000 years of recorded human history.

History will be kind to Dennis Kucinich, the question is will there be any history left to be kind to him.

There is also the question of whether the human species deserves much morer history, or do we eserve the extinction we are very likely to get within the next 5000 years and perhaps much sooner.

After seven years of Inverted Totalitarianism, of BushPutinism, which is to say of living under a tyranny deeply related to all other tyrannies that have house some 90% of all human beings who ever lived, I am no longer certain of the affirmative answer.

5. What's worse is that humans have a hard time fighting evil without becoming that evil.
Another reason the WWII vets are called the Greatest Generation. They fought evil without becoming that evil they were fighting. They didn't stoop to it's level. They stood up to it.
