Potpourri Flirting With Godwin’s Law
I am about to spew forth a river of loosely-connected thoughts that have little to do with current events or each other.
I have decided that if I’m not going to make money with my writing, I am at least going to enjoy it. Godwin’s law, for those who need a refresher, instructs us as follows:
As an online discussion continues, the probability of a reference or comparison to Hitler or Nazis approaches 1.
Mike Godwin, the law maker, has been forced by current events to recognize the size of Hitler’s fan club and to admit that when people do harm and cite Hitler as the reason, it might be a good idea to call them out in the terms they have chosen.
Those of you who follow my writings are aware of my interest in questioning how otherwise sane people can involve themselves with evil incarnate. I’m also interested in how the good gets passed along between generations.
For those reasons, my infamous Russell digressions™ often wander off the beaten path. Or, in this case, any path. Sometimes, I just like to wander around.
You have been warned.
I learned all the major myths in Sunday School, and I’m glad I went for that reason.
