Johnny has something especially thoughtful to say today:
Und daher will ich sie sehen, diese Menschen, die den Anstand nicht haben, den Opfern von Massenmorden zu gedenken, und ich will, dass die ganze Welt sie sehen kann. Ich will, dass ihre Gesichter, ihre Reden und ihr Verhalten unsere Herzen öffnen, damit wir uns ihnen mit Mut und Leidenschaft in den Weg stellen.
The essay is a critique of the press' wimpy response and the cookie cutter solution proposed by the government after right-wing members of the Saxon state assembly refused to observe a moment of silence on the day commemorating the victims of National Socialism.
Reading his last paragraph I couldn't help but think of number three in this wicked assessment of human nature. We have met the enemy and he is us.

I don't know all of the mentioned people in that buffalobeast link, but I think I need to become more upfront again if I read that list... :)
Thanks for the trackback!

No kidding. Number three was very very humbling to read: "You can’t think, you can’t organize and you won’t act. This is all your fault."
