Re: Tsk tsk Such Apathy...

In Response To: Re: Tsk tsk Such Apathy... (Pha7e)

: The past may be set in stone but History isn't. We're constantly finding out
: new things about the past and constantly changing our perceptions of it.

: Not only that but 1984 is a lot more real than any of us would like to think.
: Just look at the last election and how the past of each candidate was
: called into question/slandered because what really happened is meaningless
: compared to what we think happened.

: That being said I still agree with your point that we do need to care lest
: harmful precedents take place.

Agreed that we can learn from our history. However we cannot change it. We can learn not to let another country be Nazi's and kill people but we can't change the fact that it happened in the past. It's interesting to note that during that time it started kinda small. Just get rid of the old people, or the mentally challenged people, with no one to stop it it was an easy reach to say an entire race wasn't good enough to live. Man cannot be given the power to say who has a right to live and who doesn't. Once that power is given it will be abused. Kevorkian was a precedent in his time, then it was the patient asking for it, which can be rationalized. But now it's not the patient anymore. It's someone else picking your time to die. If it continues I wouldn't want to be an old person like Louis in the future.

Um... yes relating this to halo somehow. The prophets decided our race wasn't good enough for the great journey so we all have to be killed. We learned from the first halo about the forerunners using it to wipe out everything. Having learned about the past we can now attempt to stop the future detonation of HALOs. If we chose to ignore the lessons of the past there would be no life in the galaxy. The index is just one little key, maybe people not understanding it's power despite it's size would say "Who cares" "Don't be so uptight". But the few that see the index as just the start of something much bigger are out there fighting to stop it from happening.
