Have just come from reading - again - Ken Follet's historically-correct novel The PILLARS of the EARTH.  Human Nature has not changed.  Will not change.  Since Follett's 1100-s, nothing has changed.
The weeping and woe-ing of "Soleiman Faqiri of Ontario is another example. Last December, the 30-year-old Canadian Muslim man" in the 21st century is made almost extinctable in the context of history.
Yes, human life is a crystal-like right.
But in Barcelona, if my memory serves me, Ken Follett's epic novel based on Thomas Becket/others, gives us a road map.
I mourn S Faqiri more than most Canadians do.  Because I write about and even consider him.
That said, am no longer naïve.
The United States of America is on the verge of civil war II.
Regret this more than 100% of others do.
But - I do not hide from it.
Yes, human life is a crystal-like right.
Canadians, wake up!
Look at the CAUSES of the death, and throw yourself in the way, as Prior Philip did.
Or else accept - what passivity causes!
