I hope that message continues to influence every generation. Have you ever been to the Museum of Tolerance in LA?

We all say "Never Again" and then it does.

I remember being at the Holocaust Museum and having a discussion with an elderly man who said the exact same thing - Never Again, and I said, that it had already happened again. He just said to me "it's is not the same." The only thing that is different is that we have better access to information now and at least have to live with ourselves knowing what we let happen.

Whether you look to Cambodia, or the actions in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, or even today in Darfur, we all say never again, and then we sit back and do nothing as millions die.

I agree, Never Again, but we all need to realize it has happened again, and will continue to happen again if we do not work to make sure it does not happen again.

Do something about what is going on today in Darfur. I urge everyone, especially those who claim to care about the culture of life - show it. Right now, all I can do is send money and write my senators - do something.

EDIT - Yenta - the Museum of Tolerance is a wonderful teaching tool. It makes you cry, but it gets you so angry.

You wonder what would've happened if CNN was around then.
Probably nothing.
