While learning about Hitler in my youth, the one question I always asked is how could people stand by and allow the murder of so many of their countrymen and women. Yet here we are, on the brink of similar atrocities and now I see how it happened. The death of empathy is the first step.

I have been watching in horror the incredible wildfires in Ca. The damage done by them is going to last for a generation as the forests are destroyed and the rebuilding of homes and resettling of owners is going to take longer. This doesn't take into account the wildlife that has been wiped out in this tragedy. What needs to be done is WHY this happened and to have more sophisticated methods to make sure it never happens again. With all the noise from politicians they are not putting out the flames but fanning them higher and people whether wealthy or just regular citizens are forgotten. To their credit, Canada and Mexico have come to California with huge planes to help with water, other states have sent workers to help with firefighters and workers to help people. So politicians fan the flames and as usual we the people put out the fire.
