I've been reading a very interesting book about doctors who were involved in the Nazi euthanasia programs. THE NAZI DOCTORS: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide, by Robert J. Lifton.
Here's an interested excerpt from his description of his interview with a man only identified as Dr. R., who managed to get himself transferred without reprisals from the Nazis. This is Dr. Lifton, describing a portion of the interview.
For he still had inner questions about whether he could have left the program even earlier; and when asked what advice he would give to young doctors to prevent them from becoming vulnerable to that kind of project in the future, he immediately answered, “I would advise them to leave — not to stay in such programs!” Don't stay even for a minute, he seemed to be saying, lest you become part of the killing. And even more strongly: “Today I would rather let myself be shot than participate in such an action.”
Who really thinks the man wants to be shot? He is comparing a bad thing to a worse thing.
Steelcurtain, do you understand now? Or is it still going over your head?
Those who are left don't come from law schools. They don't even understand the English language. WINO's running out of competent backup.
It wasn't an analogy, least of all an apt one. Perhaps it's all beyond the comprehension of you and 8mm, after all.

The book you're reading sounds very interesting. The more we know about the past, concerning EUthanasia and etc, the better. Imo, Nazism is the same spirit,(the darkside)that has been so active in this country for the past several years. We fight not flesh and blood, but principalities and powers of darkness - paraphasing from the Book of Ephesians in the Bible.
