"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

So its more important to preserve a battlefield a bunch of people who are all dead fought on then to preserve living animals? :sad: :tongue2:
Yes, when the said Battlefields are disappearing at a rapid pace while the Bears are, in fact, on the increase in numbers. Also, while its comforting to know those wonderful beast are still roaming the land, just how many people will get to enjoy the sight of one save in a zoo, very few is my guess. By that very same token if we, as a people ever lose sight of our history (and what better way to teach it and feel its presence than to stand on the very ground where that blood was shed) we will have lost our way IMVHO.:up:
This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS
