May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one. -
It's so axiomatic one might think it trite, but "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The Germans have tried for 80 years now to atone for (or forget) the legacy of Nazi Germany. What too many people worldwide either forget (conveniently?) or never knew is that the Arab countries enthusiastically and without exception aligned themselves with Hitler. This guy they arrested is no more "German" than I would be if I lost my mind and moved to Germany. He's a cancer that Germany foolishly welcomed into the heart of their country, and now they're seeing the inevitable outcome of that malignancy.Originally posted by Michele View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.

Agree...that's part of the point. He's not German but he's unfortunately who they have invited in.Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View PostMay we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.

WWII redux. The Nazis despised the Arabs but believed they could use them to eradicate the Jews. They did not realize that the Arabs were using the Nazis to achieve that goal, at which they had been working for far longer than the Nazis. They had no loyalty and planned that world war would sufficiently weaken Europe that they could could conquer all of it this time, not just the Iberian Peninsula and southern Asia. "Coexist" is not part of their plan."Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.
