“Anyone who closes his eyes to the past is blind to the present. Whoever refuses to remember the inhumanity is prone to new risk of infection.”
~~~ Richard von Weizsäcker, President of West Germany, in 1985 marking the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II (copied from an article in the Washington Post)

I am taking a second while it is still Saturday to slip in an under-the-wire SoCS post before I go to bed.
I hope everyone has had a good week. It has been a strange week here in the US with the Republican convention, but I want to assure readers in other countries that the US is not the dangerous place that the speakers at the convention make it out to be. Crime is actually down.
I think we need less fear and suspicion and more love and empathy.
That goes for all nations.
Good night. Wishing you all peace.
