"All it takes is for good people to look the other way." Interesting thought – brings to my mind the story of the Polish residents living in the vicinity of the Nazi Death Camps. At first they complained about the smell. It was from the corpses lying in the open and unburied. After the Nazis started the ovens and burned up the corpses, the residents started to complain about the 'black snow' (ashes) that fell from the stacks of Bergen-Belsen and Auswich (sp?), but nothing was ever done about it until after the war. 'Oh, we didn't know!' Yeah, sure… Besides they were just Jews, Gypsies and Queers, anyway, were they not?
Very well put Will!
We all are guilty to some degree of being too self-absorbed to see or smell the truth and act upon it! It's simply "safer" to bury our heads and pretend all is well! Besides they were JUST Jews, Gypsies and Queers !!!
