The question is koanhed, not how you recognize evil. Anyone can see a cesspool, or smell one downwind. The question is how do you avoid stepping into one? Some people what to put a very thin brightly painted cardboard cover on the cesspool and plant flowers around it, so you don't see it or smell it. Others want to erect warning signs with radar and sirens and fine people for coming near them. I say leave then open and people will see them and smell them and that way avoid them most adriotly. There need be no acts governing approach, or falling into them. There need be no covers, or barbed wire around them. What we say about cesspools need not be governed. Those advocating swimming in them should be allowed to do so. I don't have to do what others advocate. In a similar manner I hope it never becomes mandatory to join the liberal party. EC<:-}

All I would like to say about all this is Katyn Forest Massacre Katyn: Polish deaths at Soviet hands 1940+. Soviet denial until 1989, and Western complicity in that ... Katyn Forest is a wooded area near Gneizdovo village, a short distance from Smolensk in Russia ... To finally get this straightened out,with which the Germans were painted since 1945, took 100's of millions of $$$ and those nutcase Germans paid it to the Russians so that they finally would own up to it (I'm sure reunification was intertwined in this also). The west new but NONE ever came out and told the truth. Are there any other truth's that are untold? Don't forget the 100's of thousands of German POW's who died after the war in French,English and American POW camps who died of disease and hunger never mind the ones that left their lives on the Russian trek. Funny...no one ever talks about that. Isn't it odd that we hear nothing of Lebanon anymore a country whose infastructure was utterly destroyed recently for the 2nd time,do you think anything has changed there? For the most part they are living in misery. No media coverage Or the Palestinians where the west pumps in 100's of millions into Gaza and the West Bank and once everything is rebuilt it is once again destroyed. In regards to the Palestinians Carter is the only one who had the guts to tell the real truth and he is being painted as a Anti Semite now--what a laugh that is. WWII had its beginnings when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. Had it not been for the utter ruthlessness of that treaty a nutcase such as Hitler who hated anything communist would never have come to power There is enough misery out there to point the finger at many nations on this planet.I thought that all of us had learned but just look around you...obviously not. I want to leave you with one more thought...Netanyahu who has the blood of Rabin on his hands is the most dangerous man on the planet. I came to that conclusio when he was at the UN many moons ago This will be all I have to say about this whole subject...As the man from LA said "can't we all get along" It's high time we did

Thanks for the reply. I find that Canadians are are very insular and fishbowled as to the ways and realities of the world. We are very fortunate in Canada that, other than the small skirmishes we had prior to Confederation, we have not had anyone knocking on our doorstep wanting to take us over. This has led to a lot of complacency that skews the realities of the world. Even our past leaders and those wanting to lead our country are extremely niaive. I also think this extends to our neighbours to the south. As an aside I find your posts and others as well extremely informative. Trying to keep up and assimilate the wealth of information, and of course sift through the verbage to come to an understanding of what is being said, is a very interesting task. Again, thanks for the reply. Regards Ernest Nash
