  32. Mainstream narrative about WWII victims inevitably ignores and negates many who lost their lives, including LGBT, the elderly, and disabled people.

    These good people loved, helped, worked and shared. They deserved better from the world, and deserve better retrospectively.

    Thankfully this gutsy author is daring to speak the truth bravely, in a shockingly fascistic country which incites hate of misunderstood minorities (billionaires gain more advantages by dividing population against itself, and the stupid do their bidding).

  34. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Q. Should we discourage children from playing war games?
     
    A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — ­fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59
