We are in a strange place and a strange time. A good friend has mentioned that everything can be improved and of course that sounds right. And then I stop myself and think that the third reich thought things could be improved. The Founding Fathers thought that things could be improved by declaring living assets to be 3/5ths of person. Plessy v Ferguson was an attempt to improve.
Just read a little from the two -three hundred years of conquest, genocide and war under the guise of improving civilization and bringing "humanity" to the the "heathens"
Think of the prohibition for native people's to speak their language .
The list goes on and on.
How can such an innocuous thought that everything can be improved be converted into such historical horror?
