“...every one of us knows one or two depressed individuals, and it is inconceivable that they would commit mass murder. As a number of Lincoln biographers have noted...the great president was probably depressed all his life. And he was a moral giant.”

While Prager’s point is well taken, some would argue that Lincoln was largely responsible for the 600,000+ deaths that occurred during the War Between the States. Perhaps Lincoln is not the best example for Prager to use to bolster his argument.

“We take it for granted that Germanwings, the German government and the German people will fully acknowledge any findings, no matter how damning of one its pilots.
We shouldn't. Acknowledging painful truths is not a universal value.”

I have read that the official transcript of the Nuremberg war crimes trials has YET to be published in Germany.

Though trial proceedings and other information must certainly be available on line by now, this says a great deal.

Every time these mass murders happen, we say: let’s not identify details of the murderer.

It will feed the ego of the next mass murderer.

Yet we can’t turn away. We have to reconcile this flaw in all of us.

Nice analysis on Prager’s part.

Just read this morning somewhere (can't recall where) a piece about a 777 pilot for Emirates Airlines (a major airline that's not well known here) who recently wrote a piece in a professional pilots’ newsletter that he sometimes wondered who was sitting next to him in the cockpit and that he wondered if someday he'd be locked out of the cockpit by a co-pilot who might have experienced some major life crisis.The guy is Dutch and the piece he wrote was in Dutch.

Prophetic....

Just remembered where I found that piece...in the (London) Daily Telegraph.

Pilot's Prediction

"That the world isn't fair is known to every human being who thinks."

Tell that to the Democrats. They think they can make life fair. Of course they are actually Marxist / Leninist and fairness is strictly a "relative" term but who cares if a few eggs are broken while making a communist omelet. After all, it's only human life we're talking about here.
