I don't know about you, but I don't think highways, space flight, and jets are a free trade for genocide.

Who's saying we wouldn't have those things if history didn't happen that way?
I know there are millions and millions of people who would trade an extra 20 years to get to the moon, or an extra 10 years until city planners realized to expand a road so more people can pass on it - for their parents/grandparents back.

Please point out where I said they justified genocide. You really need to stop putting words in people's mouths. Its embarrassing.

Well since it never happened that way, we'll never know. So to say they would have come around eventually is mere speculation.

Why do you insist on answering my comments so emotionally and assuming my attitude and thoughts beyond what I actually communicate? What I wrote was exactly what I meant: not everything the Nazi's did was bad. That doesn't mean I think it excuses genocide. It just means some OBJECTIVELY good things came out of it. I don;t need to qualify that statement by saying that the Nazi's were evil and heinous, because that is obvious to anyone with a lick of sense.

Stop and think before you blabber on about what you think I mean when I post. Respond to what I write, and not whatever fiction you've created in your fevered mind.
