Running the World After Genocides
Apparently, Barbara Coloroso, of all people, has had one of her books pulled from the Toronto public high school curriculum and replaced with TWO books - by men (I guess the theory being that a woman has to work twice as hard to write a book and therefore...???).
However, the book isn't on parenting, a subject normally associated with the former nun, it's on genocide: "Extraordinary Evil: A Brief History of Genocide".
Genocide,Schmenocide-WeThoughtItWasAboutBullying
Anyway, I don't know "much" (i.e. "anything") about the Turkish slaughter of the Armenians because I went to high school in the days when no one even knew there was such a people as Armenians.
Or Turks, really, if I stop and think about it. But I'm, like, fifth generation Scottish Canadian, so... well.. you know... (if you're fifth generation Scottish Canadian, too... AND BE HONEST!)
Anyway, my point is, perpetrators should take a lesson from the Brits and acknowledge their brutality towards other peoples because it really won't hold you back in any significant way from being British bankers. And look at America the Beautiful. It perpetrates all kinds of crimes against other peoples and yet, it runs the world. And Germany certainly bounced back after The Holocaust. I mean, look where Germany is at these days - one of the world's biggest economies, in the G8, consistently third in medals at the Olympics...
So yeah, instead of "they were war casualties", try, "yeah, we committed genocide". Maybe it'll even fast-track your application for full membership in the Eurpean Economic Union.
