Rational and humane are we? The capacity
is there, agreed, yet a mass psychosis of
inhumane irrationality seems never far from
the surface of a population's civil veneer of
enlightenment. Documents attesting to the
influence a malign government can exert on
its population by attributing the failures of its
own misrule of an exploited populace can be
readily diverted by accusations of an 'outside'
force's deliberate ruination imposed upon an
entire nation, though the named culprits may
be few in number, yet imbued in the popular
imagination with powers far outstripping their
presence. For an improved outcome it becomes
necessary to name them, ostracize them, rescind
their liberties, gather them into squalid camps
that deny their humanity and finally organize
methods to cleanse them from existence. That
methodical blueprint to genocide revealed to a
world recoiling from its horror, now sufficiently
recovered to rediscover that same evil intent
whose purpose must be apprehended and what
better method than to resurrect mechanisms
once profoundly repulsive, now to be repurposed.
