Encouraging

I find this this encouraging.

And this and this.

Another extradition.

This, however, makes you wonder if we are losing the battle with the reason.
Germany's high court Friday ruled that it is libellous to call a public figure a "Gypsy Jew" in print, saying the term is offensive to both Jews and Gypsies and conjures up the spectre of Nazi atrocities against both groups.
Something, no human rights group would protest.
The court said the term, used in print by former right-wing Republican Party official Hermann Josef Reichertz, was libellous inflammatory Nazi jargon. Under post-war German law, use of Nazi slogans or catchwords is banned except for historical or theatrical purposes.
Make sure to read to the bottom to find the laugh line.
