" If there were more Rachel Corries during Hitler's time, maybe we would have had less Holocaust victims, don't you agree?"

Nope. I'd think that there would be more dead Corries. It just ain't real smart to stand in front of bulldozer, in Germany, Israel, Chicago, or even San Francisco.

I'm reminded of the "huggers" who chain themselves to trees, yet think it's heroic to "spike" trees with the intent to injure loggers. Or all the air time dedicated to oily birds, while the dead drillers are almost ignored. Now, don't misunderstand. Like most people, I hate to see old trees cut down in the name of "progress." And I don't much like the idea of a bunch of environmental damage from an oil spill. However, I can tell the difference between irresistible forces and very movable objects.
