Sorry. It’s a worthy topic, but such rudimentary errors, whatever their reason, just bring attention to themselves and speak badly, like it or not, about the poster.

iPhone, you say? Bad phone!

Inexplicably—unless not the least bit inexplicably—sloppy history, sloppy logic, and sloppy writing tend to show up about the same time, and are often closely followed by sloppy excuse making.

I could make a good case for saying today's lord high political "leaders" are following an eerily similar path toward monumental destruction Chamberlain, Hitler, Tojo, Stalin, et alia did shortly before World War II. I could make about as good a case for saying today's lord high political "leaders" are following an eerily similar path toward monumental destruction their imperial predecessors did shortly before World War I.

The paths actually are eerily similar; the crux of the matter, however, ought to have far less to do with paths followed than our—humanity's—apparently unvarying trust in lord high "leaders" whose sole qualification is their skill at "leading" millions of people into prodigious, wanton destruction.

If you always expect the worst of criminals, you won't often be disappointed—but so what? Here's the key question: why do their victims so infrequently rise up in righteous anger and turn on the predators?
