<div dir="ltr">In reference to some of our discussions at the Market
this morning related to the film and writings of Hannah Arendt, and her
"banality of evil" I attach the below. I consider not Adolph Eichmann,
but many here in the US, myself included, as the banality of evil, when
viewing through the eyes of many elsewhere in the world. We drive our
SUV's, feed our pets better food than some people receive, shop until
we drop, consuming resources that cannot be replaced, and allowing wars
and killings to take place in the name of "self defense". <br>

I would agree that after you have made certain that the last human<br>
is ok, then you take care of the first dog, but my attitude is angering<br>
to some.<br>
<br>
I consider Eichmann to be a scapegoat, much like Bin Laden and Michael
Vick.<br>
<br>
Having said that humans are so much more valuable that dogs <br>
[worst human >> best dog], now I must say that there is great<br>
evil possible in the action of masses of human. Alone an <br>
individual can do relatively little evil.<br>
<br>
Scapegoats provide the hoi polloi a focus upon which to fix the
pointless banality of their<br>
useless lives of vanity. <br>
