The past is impossible to erase as long as inquisitive minds seek the truth. Armenians can be assured that the Turk suffers the shame of his role as a modern replica of prehistoric man, enacting the ungoverned conduct of a forager-hunter in an era of diplomacy and fledgling international norms. It may be natural for the generation immediately affected by the holocaust and their children to obsess. But succeeding generations should, besides those who choose history as their calling, seek to place themselves at the vanguard of the cutting edge fields in the new millenium and be positioned as the most indispensible class.
Likely due to the selective pressures on a population pressed to find adaptive expedients to endure persecution, Armenians, like European J e w s, wield disproportionate intellectual prowess. We are naturally inquisitive and take to decrypting and exposing attempts to shelter the truth. I know few people more committed than some Armenian confidantes to getting to the heart of vital concerns in matters of the highest concern. My username in most fora is SecularIce. I bent it here, and tried to get ComfortablyHye, but was limited in number of characters. I use the "Secular" nick to express my committment to all progressive causes and "Ice" as a caveat to parochial forces such as would let some uninformed regard for frozen embryoes impede the breathtaking remedial and therapeutic promise of stem cell research. It irks me that a so-called "Christian" president, wilfully ignorant of science to the point that he denounces the father of evolution as "Mr. JAMES Darwin" has the authority to impede such a vital research imperative.
Hi. My real name's Haig Shekerdemian. I've gone by Ric Demian since enterring (and leaving) the legal profession, and I'm proud to belong to smartest and toughest people extant. Let's use the superior savvy and drive our ancestor's evolved in adapting to life among hunter-foragers, and place ourselves at the helm of modernity and the vanguard of the post-Enlightenment.
