DEREK'S CONFESSION | 2005-12-07
Dereke says,
"To be honest Bob I am 26. I just rounded down to make it simple."
"Whoever orchestrated WWII did a good job. I grew up guilty for a holocaust I didn't particiapte in. Collecetive guilt, as I understaind it, is the work of communistis. I thought that was what my forefathers fought against - not for. "
What Derek said was that he had been LISTENING to this crap for twenty years. Assuming he did not have a radio plugged in his ear when he was born, it would take at least six years for him to become aware of what the buzz was.
On the other hand, if I had known that I was not talking to a twenty-year-old, but to a decrepit old man of twenty-six, I would not have bothered.
So let's blame my calling Derek a twenty-year-old on him.
Shame on you Derek!
As for collective guilt, remember that long before its bastard Communism came into existence, the church taught that every infant deserves eternal agony because of some sin its first ancestors committed.
Collective guilt is a disease that many have exploited.
Collective guilt is a DISEASE. We need to root it out and destroy it the way we went after plague and smallpox.
