Did you know?
Did you know, that from 1908 to 1931, there was a girl who, many said, "laughed with her eyes."
An excerpt from a local newspaper states:
"According to a police communiqué, a twenty-three-year-old student fired a pistol aimed at her heart in a room of her apartment in the Bogenhausen district. The unfortunate young woman, Angela Raubel….lived on the same floor of an apartment house on Princzregentenplatz, with her uncle. Friday afternoon the owners of the apartment heard a cry, but it did not occur to them that it came from their tenant’s room. When there was no sign of life from this room in the course of the evening, the door was forced open. Angela Raubel was found lying face down on the floor, dead. Near her on the sofa was a small caliber Walter pistol. The motives for this action are not yet clear.” ~ Munchner Neueste Nachrichten (1931)
Her uncle loved her dearly, and undeniably. He sheletered her, albeit almost despot like, and made sure she had everything she needed or wanted - because he loved her.
Accounts of the uncle after the death of his half niece have said that it (her death) affected him so much, he often talked about committing suicide. He secluded himself totally, moved from the apartment, and was extremely close to quitting his career in politics, and ending what he called, "his mission."
This single event, catapulted the uncled into, many thought, a new direction. Over time, he grew distant and cold. Eventually her rose higher and higher in the party he belonged to, ultimately being the supreme leader of it, changing history, and millions of lives.
You know who the uncle was?
It was none other, than Adolf Heidler, also known as Adolf Hitler.

O.O Woah...talk about extreme ends with such meager beginnings.
Yep, and I'm glad someone got my point of this. Thanks for reading, and not claiming i'm a Hitler apologist. (Long freaking story)

I think this story moves to further cloud the nonexistant line between good and bad, and perhaps provides a link to why we should move beyond good and evil.
Sorry for the blatant Nietzsche reference.
Eh, perhaps. That wasn't my intention. However, you do have a point. Good, and Bad, it's all subjective, that is, until we get to laws.
Hey Bryan, want to contribute to our blog? Anyone, and everyone is welcome.

I was just referencing Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil," nothing more. And laws are concrete, but the moral suppositions they rest on are extremely subjective, as is their legitimacy (I mean, we've seen our president breach our laws numerous times with very little backlash).
As far as contributions go, I would love to, but I'm sure I may take it in a direction you don't want it to go, being that I've rejected liberalism (and just recently socialism) as a legitimate form of government. But if you persist, I will. Just wanted to warn you.
