Hi peoples,
I just wanted to share an observation that may be relevant to this forum if it is agreed as valid.
When the second world war commenced persons of the oppositions nationality ( german, italian and Japanese) were sent to confinement camps.
This was approx. 65 odd years ago.
We now have a situation that if happening in the mood of the 40's would see a repeat of this reaction to threats.
Whilst there is a percieved direct threat in the world today persons who would normally be considered members of that threat are not being sent to confinement camps. In fact the world has tried strongly to avoid such behaviour even in the face of some times fightening possibilities.
Is this evidence of a world maturing and being more meaured and reasonable in it's response to threats. Is this a sign of growth in the ability to reason and seek a more ethical position.
Or am I imagining it?
