Hitler's Willing Executioners

Have you ever wondered about all the people who worked in the concentration camps during the Holocaust? They were called ''Hitler's willing executioners,'' loading the train cars, stripping down the prisoners, turning on the gas. One wonders how could they, who were they, did they have families, and were they evil to the core? Perhaps they were merely good citizens, doting fathers and mothers, simply compliant and docile, doing as they were told for the common good. 

Here in Maine, the law mandated by our Governor, a nice enough middle-aged lady of no special talent, commands face masks be worn until tomorrow, May 24, at which point all the Covid germs will magically cease and desist. 

And so the compliant people who wear face masks today, even when it's brutally hot, even when they are spending time outdoors, even when they are hiking alone on a wooded path or driving alone in their cars with the windows rolled up -- those are today's willing executioners. The more annoying among them try to guilt everyone else into doing the same, as if you personally are causing the deaths of hundreds of old people in nursing homes, like you're some kind of Andrew Cuomo.

Oh well, at least they are easy to spot.
