It's Sunday morning. The sun is shining. It's warm and I have been reading a Canadian newspaper that I supported with money in the past. Not very much but I was able to read columns. I am not able to now. Not sure why but I don't want to dwell on it.
Why not dwell on it? Make a fuss. Stir up trouble?
Because I see power for power's sake becoming the emphasis. Not truth or justice. This happened in Hitler's Germany. And now in Netanyahu's Israel. I understand the fear. When power is the only thing worth having in the mind of people you can't afford to question it.
Separating children from their parents, keeping groups of immigrants in prison with no contact to family or the outside. Allowing guns in schools. Not punishing those who kill others. Not interested in justice or reason. We have seen nations give up on justice, leaders who encourage rape of women in order to become a male dominated culture.
What is happening when normal attitudes towards justice and civilization are trashed? People who hold power become fearful they will be treated like those they treat.
What we think of as 'normal' is not. There is no normal. Humanity loses its memory of right and wrong.
