[a fool in paradise]

53 million babies have been killed in America as a matter of convenience and the press and politicians and judges just shrug. The media even opts to not cover rallies with hundreds of thousands of persons in attendance.

Normalcy indeed.

Lays it all out with citations to original sources. Highly recommended.

C.S.Lewis, in an introduction to The Screwtape Letters, said much the same thing- the real evil, or at least the genesis of real evil in its human form, was often begotten not in rage, sadism and fury, but in bland meeting rooms and documented via mind numbingly boring memos. there was a TV movie ‘Conspiracy’ about the Wannasee conference that was quite interesting,too.

Generally, people do not begin to grasp the horror of their situation until too late: that is, until they realize that thousands of their fellow humans have been murdered for reasons that are utterly irrational. Irrationality, hiding behind sober reason and a belief that the inexorable march of history demands the sacrifice of millions to assure a happy future for billions, seems essentially more irrational and dangerous that the kind of irrationality that, in and through myth, admits to its own existence, comes to terms with the "positive powers," and, at most, sacrifices animals. --Vaclav Havel
