To the Pits

A perhaps overwrought reflection

Over the years, every time we watched a Hitler movie, or documentary, there was that inevitable moment when prisoners walked to the edge of a pit, a pit already half filled with bodies, and stood, resigned, waiting for their own execution.  My wife always said the same thing during these moments.  "Why don't they run?  Or try to grab the gun away?  Or put up a struggle?"   I thought I might understand the psychology of their situation, but wished that somebody would take one of those bastards with him into the pit.  This week it seems like that's what we are living in America.   Letting the Democrat congress lead us to open pits, with feeble protests yes, but no action. Bang.
