I am considering a new hypothesis about this type of thinking. /BAH

When did the public records offices get reopened in that country? How does their public records offices work? I would need to know this before I'd even bother reading the report of estimated death count. /BAH

Often the new idea is thought about, maybe for a second or two, before it is dismissed as crackpot. This is not a bad thing.

I realize that. It a serious problem and you should be very worried about their kind of thinking because it is becoming the politcally correct way to think. This will cause political leaders who pander the same way to be elected. These people will make the decision to not deal with Islamic extremists. They will deny reality until it is too late to do anything about it. There one difference between WWII and now. Today's technology is sophisticated enough to wipe out 75% of the world's population within 12 months. Even in the black plague days, the creep of death waves took longer. This is why trying to dismiss these people with name calling is not an acceptable tactic. /BAH |
