ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

There are times when I wonder, I truly wonder, how some people think. What logic do they employ to arrive at a particular decision? How can they come to terms with their justification of a thought process gone awry?

A case in point is the German government’s decision to construct a Nazi museum on the site of certain World War II atrocities in Berlin. Note the enthusiasm:

The site "stands like no other place in Berlin for terror and genocide," Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit told reporters while marking the start of work. With the new center, he said, "one of the most important, authentic places of remembrance in Berlin will gain in stature."

I’m sure the Mayor and others mean well in constructing a thirty-three million dollar museum:

"We more than owe this to the victims of the Nazis' regime of terror, on whose fate decisions were made here."

However, these ideas often mutate and morph into something quite unintended. This well intentioned idea will in the not-so-distant future become a focal point for neo-Nazi and neo-terrorists who will use the site as a propaganda vehicle for their own purposes.

The thought process is warped - justified partly by the proximity to the Holocaust Museum. The museum is a wonderful tribute to the millions of Jews who were killed during the war. An official study site for Nazism, the root cause of the Holocaust is brain cramp in the collective thought process.
