Is History repeating itself?
| The true story movie Judgement at Nuremberg is educational and relevant even more so today. It is about the trial of former Nazi judges including a judge named Janning who before the Naazi’s rose to power was highly respected for his ethics and judicial acumen. He and several other Nazi judges were imprisoned for crimes against humanity. In one of the final scenes the lead American judge talks to the imprisoned Janning. Janning respects the American judge and says “those people, those millions of people. I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it”. The American judge responds: “Herr Janning, it came to that the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent.” Janning is talking about the holocaust, but gassing people is not the only way to kill by the millions. Cutting off American aid to those who depend on it for their lives is another way, as is telling people they don’t need to take precautions to prevent spread of a virus. I could go on. Some people like Conrad Black have said it’s not fair to compare Trump to Hitler, but it came to that the first time someone died simply because Trump lied or promoted a conspiracy theory.

Hold your nose and vote
| Dear Editor, I can’t imagine what people outside the United States must be thinking of our choices….either Joe Biden or Donald Trump, for president. Maybe they simply agree with the vast majority of Americans (64% in the latest polls) that they are both too old and at least one of them is an autocrat. Let me reassure your readers that you are correct on both counts and the first caravan of immigrants will be crossing your border in early November. So, get ready, cause here we come. Bob Ory |
More can be done to stop car theft
| STOP CAR THEFTS! Why not really check the ocean carriers before transportation to find out how many cars are in each of these carriers. How else do the cars get smuggled overseas if not by carriers on boats? That’s the only way they can ship stolen vehicles abroad…not by plane, not by small boats…and maybe by rafts. Maybe a better check of this might prevent these thefts. Is it too difficult to inspect these before export…. you can check trucks but not boats? David Barrick Burlington |
