  1.  @SteveninTune , I didn't make my point. In "Man's Search for Meaning," Frankl writes of the Nazi prison camp where he met Jews as vicious to their fellow Jews as the cruellest prison guard and a camp doctor who secretly spent his own money on medicines that he smuggled in to ease the suffering of the prisoners. I have met people from many different cultures and found myself responding to their humanity and them to mine. It seems ludicrous to me to think of soldiers on one side being "bad" and the other "good." You don't have to agree with me. Also, it's "mumbo jumbo."

  2.  @SteveninTune @SteveninTune? Mumbo jumbo is meaningless and pretends to make sense. On the other hand, in Swahili, mambo-jambo inspires great awe.

  3.  @catalinbarbuceanu9047  Same here. But when I heard what the author did to get the stories from the prisoners he interviewed and keep their stories alive, it made me want to dig it out and try again. It is though to read.

  4.  @KevinDoyle-r1w  That sounds character-building.

  5.  @SteveninTune , History isn't the morality play some people make of it. Any random group of a hundred people will include many kinds.

  6.  @adamwatson6916  Is our government as totalitarian? Is it an illusion that we could?

  8.  @Peglegkickboxer @Peglegkickboxer  That's sort of like the climate of Britain; on drugs or just not very rugged.

  11.  @adventureaviator9702  But doesn't it at least keep fluctuating between better and worse? Also, this reminds me of what we achieved in the work programs of the New Deal, but I wonder how stark the difference in the standard of living of most people in each time and place is. Recovering from the depression, it might not have been. What made them decide to be so brutal?

  12.  @SteveninTune  Exactly. Except it's "mumbo jumbo." I need facts to work with.

  13.  @jimjambananaslam3596  Not if they do it by teaching history and philosophy. We don't want them to be zombies. Soylent green is people.

  14.  @LakeNatronHotSprings  Everyone who thinks of it should teach that to anyone who will listen. Some won't, but many will.
