[Das Outsider]

It's almost a Hitler-esque portrait we see. Be ye frail, sick, in need, elderly, not good enough physically--(and I'm in no way diminishing the attack upon the Jewish by my referring to Hitler)--you're not worth the air you breathe, according to today's applied standards.

The "almost" may be in the fact that it isn't fully realized. Your parallel between the weaker members of society and Jews in Hitler's Germany doesn't diminish the Nazis' assault on the them. When a class is deemed not worthy of the rights and priveliges of the rest, declared to be less than human, and killed within the confines of the law, a society should remember the Holocaust; how it came to be, why it came to be, and how to prevent another such nightmare.

"Your parallel between the weaker members of society and Jews in Hitler's Germany doesn't diminish the Nazis' assault on the them."

As a pleasant reminder, I wrote, "and I'm in no way diminishing the attack upon the Jewish by my referring to Hitler."

If I missed something, kindly point it out to me.

Hitler started with the terminally ill and mentally ill. After the society got used to killing "life undeserving of life", going after Jews and political dissenters wasn't that big of a step.
