REGIMES

ONE WHO KNOWS SAID OF IRAN'S ISLAMIC REGIME: YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND
THE EVILS OF A REGIME UNLESS YOU KNOW THE DETAILS OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
DR. DEAN EDELL, AN OBVIOUS CALIFORNIAN ONCE THE DETAILS OF HIS
PHILOSOPHICAL STANCE ARE KNOWN, ADVOCATES GETTING RID OF UNDESIRED
OR UNDESIRABLE CHILDREN THROUGH ABORTIONS. THESE ARE SIMILAR TO
MISCARRIAGES, HE SAYS, IN WHICH NATURE DISCARDS ITS IMPERFECTIONS.
THIS DR. WHO PLAYS GOD, HATES GOD AND DENIES GOD IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A
PARTICIPANT IN THE LIBERAL REGIME.

THE SS, SCHUTZSTAFFEL, ORIGINALLY A PROTECTIVE SQUAD THAT WAS
BODYGUARD FOR GERMANY'S ADOLPH HITLER, REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT KIND
OF COMEDY OF HORRORS. ITS MENTAL JUSTIFICATIONS LED TO PHYSICAL
EXTERMINATION OF UNDESIRABLES, NAMELY JEWS, RELIGIOUS, CAPITALISTS,
COMMUNISTS, POLES, ELITES, EDUCATORS, HOMOSEXUALS AND GYPSIES.

THEN THERE IS THE RED-BLOODED AMERICAN WHO HAS FOLLOWED BRUCE
SPRING STEEN, KNOWN AS "THE BOSS", FEVERISHLY FOR 30 YEARS, ACQUIRING
HIS EVERY NEW RELEASE FROM ON 8-TRACK TO VIDEO iPOD AND PATRONIZING
HIS EVERY NEW CONCERT. THE DESIRE TO IMPOSE HIS MANIA ONTO THE NEXT
GENERATION, HIS SON, IS STRONG BECAUSE WHAT IS DESIRABLE TO HIM
SHOULD BE DESIRABLE TO ONE LESS INFORMED.

THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS OF A REGIME, WHETHER THAT OF A
LIBERAL MIND, NAZI GERMANY OR "THE BOSS." PERHAPS FOLLOWING "THE
BOSS" STRETCHES THE MEANING OF EVIL, BUT IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T DEVIATE
FROM THE CONCEPT OF A REGIME. IT BEGS THE QUESTION, HOWEVER, "WHAT
CONSTITUTES A USELESS LIFE?"
