I always said the most jarring thing about the Holocaust Museum was not just the concentration camp photos. It was seeing a civilized, educated society degenerate into insanity. Yes, I think about that today.
One of the biggest challenge when we study the tragedy of
#Auschwitz
, is to understand that the perpetrators were not monsters. They were people - fathers, husbands and dog owners - who accepted the ideology of hatred & evil and were able to do monstrous things on its behalf.

I’m OK with recognizing those who are improving the future over those who are bankrupting it for personal gain today, but I’d argue that the Hong Kong protestors’ stand against authoritarianism (a growing threat worldwide) was more courageous.

Wait a minute. Is Auburn really preparing to give a football coach a buyout of as much as $18 million, a year after agreeing to a $21 million buyout?
That is more of an embarrassment than anything that could happen on the field. The university community should be ashamed.

In 1978, out-of-state tuition for Auburn was $1,000. That would be $4,434 today. Out-of-state tuition for Auburn in 2021-22 was $31,986. Which is why I keep quiet about student loan forgiveness.
