Exile or Mercy

Let me just start this post by saying my great grandparents were Polish Jews. They left Poland and headed to America before Nazi persecution began, but my heart feels for all those whose family wasn't so lucky.

Mercy for these men is not an option in my opinion. They are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Crimes against humanity are defined as offences against or serious attacks on human dignity or grave humiliation or degradation of one or more human beings.

Did these men not commit these specified acts? In the article these men claim ignorance but does ignorance constitute innocence? NO! I feel that these men should be exiled back to the grounds in which they helped (knowingly on not...more than likely knowingly) decimate a human race. They may have escaped the Numberg Trials, but does that mean that they should not pay for their acts anyways. If we allow their age to become a factor in their deportation, are we not allowing ignorance to constitute as innocence. These men knew what they were doing was immoral and wrong. Simply sayiong they had no choice is unexcusable. They did have a choice. They just chose not to do the right and moral thing. They are guilty and they need to own up to what they did. They should come full circle with what they did and take their punishments as they did serving there own brand of justice.

The irony in it all

"Federal agents arrested him in 2003 as he hid in a secret compartment under a stairwell in the home he shared with his wife in Clinton Township. The agents had a judge lock him up as a flight risk."
Before I start my blog, I would just like to point out the irony in this small excerpt from the article. This man was found hiding in a compartment to escape prosecution. Hmmm.....sound familar. He knew what he did and instead of standing up and taking blame, he hid. He hid not for survival but of cowardice.


If I could question this man I would say to him:


"What would Hitler think about you hiding like a Juden?"
I wonder what Hitler would say. Afterall Hitler was just a COWARD !!

Never back down the Winston way.

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."









Words...What are they really, letters strewn together to form a thought or action...or are they much more? The answer is more. Much MORE. Take Winston Churchill for example. The above excerpt is from one of his most famous speeches. All of the words are simple words. Words that most people know and understand. Strewn together and constructed correctly these words became powerful enough to move a nation; and they did!

The Germans had been waging a determined fight against allie troops. The Allie war effort was becoming despondent. Paris had fallen and Britian was under siege. These words however, simple words at that managed to inspire and move a nation. Churchill moved a nation essentially resurrecting it. He caused not only his country, but other allies to spring out of the ashes of war.Churchill knew what he was saying and knew how his words would inspire.

I myself even think of these words now when i come to an oppisition on the my way.



Sorry typos...oops i'm really tired...lol.

The Book Thief... Is Death

In reading the Book Thief there is one thing i have to question. That question being: Is Death really guilty of murder. He himself even states that he is a result of human infraction.. So does Death truly have blood on his hands? Is Death guilty? If he is merely a product of human nature.Who are we to blame him for loss of human life. Like he says he is not malicious or evil. We have painted him as malicious and evil. We are so afraid of Death that we have truly surpassed or over looked what we should truly fear; each other. We are the ones who kill. We are the ones hate each other. We are the ones who fear each other. I know that living life in fear isn't a healthy way to live, but why live in fear of Death? Every one dies. No one lives forever. I think we live in fear of death because fearing death is simplier than looking at the inhumanities of one another. We use Death as a scape goat to justify our own actions. Death. Guilty or innocent. Innocent in my eyes. The only thing Death is guilty of is being a result to our actions.

I will be the frist person to admit that I am a very complicated person. I am very private and hard to read. I myself don't undestand me sometimes. (I'm not sure if that makes any sense). I have my good days and bad days like everyone else. At first glance, I may come off like a hard ass, but i really am not. I'm sweet, understanding, and i care for eveything. So for me to do this blog is a bit hard but I will manage. Now don't get me wrong. I love free speech. The abiltity to say what you feel at any given moment is amazing. I however, tend to over analyze and forget what to say. So for all those out there wondering who i am here are ten things you should know....

10. I am very hard headed. (I know it's a bad thing, but hey i can't help it.)

9.I can be very sarcastic. (but take it with a grain of salt. I don't mean everything i say.)

8.I love apple juice but hate apples. (I know it's really random)

7.I can be a bit of an air head.(But then again who isn't?)

6.I love to listen to music. (If I look like I'm having a stoke ignore it. I'm probably just dancing to a song in my head.)

5.General Hospital is my favorite TV show.(I don't care what anyone says...I love it!)

4.My mom is Jewish and Polish my dad's african and indian American and i'm confused(LOL)

3.I am going into law. (don't know exactly where into law yet though.)

2.I love reading ( You're never alone if you have a good book.)

1.I can't be anyone else but myself. Sorry but it's the truth(Sometime i don't know who that is so bear with me.)

I am a good person though. I hope that you have learned from me today and i look forward to learning about you!
