Let us Pretend....

Let us pretend for a moment that what Hitler did to the Jews was right.
That the mass genocide of almost an entire race in less than 10 years was right.

Let us pretend for a moment that binding another race into slavery was right.
That degrading and killing off people because they were a different color was right.

Let us pretend for a moment that the bombing of the Twin towers was right.
That destroying innocent lives in an angry attack that brought America to its’ knees was right.

Let us pretend for a moment that shooting a class of 5 and 6 year olds was right.
That letting them scream in fright and cry for help that cannot come was right.

Let us pretend for a moment that aborting an innocent child is right.
That murdering an unborn baby in cold blood and saying it is not alive is right.

Let us pretend for a moment that all of the above is good, just, fair and right.
Then take a moment and ask yourself, when did the definition of right become wrong?

There isn’t any grey space when you’re dealing with life or death.
