    What is wrong with us?

    "Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all." ---John W. Gardner

    This is the mentality that is destroying our country. It runs rampant in our educational system having been taught for many years by liberal college professors to the students who become our new teachers and administrators.
    The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke

    In school, I read two of Elie Wiesel's books about his Holocaust experiences. It was interesting and amazing how he considered himself fortunate to have made it through being in a prison camp. And, I was impressed and in awe of my paternal Grandfather, who make it through a prison camp after being captured during the Battle Of The Bulge. Yet, like Wiesel, my Grandfather had a positive attitude about life.

    I have been to the Holocaust Museum in D.C. One of the things I still think about is the room they have which is filled with thousands of dead Jew's shoes the Nazis kept. It was an extraordinary experience. Now, I too think the Holocaust needs to be remembered and that info is shared with our young.
