What is happenning in Italy is freaking me out. Sifting out the "undesirables" and putting them in camps... seriously? Didn't we decide, you know, after the holocaust and all, that this was a seriously bad idea?

The Roma (gypsies) were second only to the Jewish in being massacred during WW2 (relative to population size), however while the Jewish were largely affluent and litterate, the Roma were neither and therefore had no-one to create movies and write books about their loss.

I have a novel idea. Since most crimes are committed by MEN, shouldn't we just put all MEN in camps (/consentration camps?)... of course such an idea is preposterous. You do not judge an entire gender for the crimes of a few... however it does seem to be okay to do so for race... at least according to the Italian government.

There is one thing that seems to be a constant with the human race:
Our stubborn ignorance and refusal to learn from the past.
