(Thoughtful) Quote of the DayIt is maintained that a society is free only when dissenting minorities have room to throw their weight around. As a matter of fact, a dissenting minority feels free only when it can impose its will on the majority; what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority. Eric Hoffer, Reflection on the Human Condition Thanks to Kevin Michael Grace, back from an entirely untoward absence. Posted by Guessedworker on Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 04:21 PM in Books
How Ordinary People Come to Take Part in Extraordinary EvilEver since 9/11 we have all been bombarded with the word evil as it has been resurrected once again to dehumanize one group in the effort to mobilize another group before marching off to war. I don’t much like the term evil because it is easy to use but very difficult to explain. It seems to me that acting inhuman, based on our evolutionary past, would mean living in peace with our neighbors, not killing them. We are collectively living under a falsehood—that humans prefer peace at any cost over collective action against others for their own advantage. A recent book sheds some light on this subject entitled Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing by James Waller, 2002. This book covers a lot of ground, so I will only touch on what I believe is relevant to our current situation in the West with regards to the war on terror. The first part of the book discusses different genocides but especially focuses on the Nazis as it has been the most studied mass murder. In short, what the research shows is that the top echelons of the Nazi party were ordinary men of higher than average intelligence; nothing stands out that would differentiate them from our leaders today. Likewise, the average German soldier as well as the average Soviet soldier slipped into genocidal acts of brutality, because all humans are capable of such actions once certain social conditions are met.

Looking for the BarbariansA few years ago I visited the pre-Columbian monuments in Mexico and was lucky enough, while there, to find myself in the company of a well known Mexican writer, thoroughly versed in the history of the Indian peoples of the region.
