As most of America knows, Ace Young was voted off "American Idol" last night. Although I wasn't extremely disappointed, I think that Elliott, Paris, and Katharine should have gone home before Ace. At this point, Taylor might be my favorite, with Kellie a close second. In my opinion, Wednesday's show was pretty dull, partly because Bucky wasn't there and partly because I didn't like the genre of songs. Taylor's performance was the only one that I actually liked.
On a completely different topic, today is a momentous day in history, as it is Adolf Hitler's birthday. Although extremely unpopular, Hitler is undoubtedly one of the most important people who ever lived. He is either number one or number two on my list of the most important people of all time, with Jesus possibly beating him. A remarkable (although not necessarily good) fact that I calculated is that Hitler killed over one percent of Earth's population at the time! It is astounding that one individual could be responsible for as much death and destruction as Hitler was, and quite amazing that in an age when most people wanted to outlaw war and work for world peace, Hitler was able to create a Reich larger than any other empire in history besides that of Genghis Khan.
Also today in history was the Columbine High School massacre, in which students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed twelve fellow students, a teacher, and themselves. Klebold and Harris, who were fascinated by Hitler, were originally planning to carry out their attack yesterday on the anniversary of the Oklahoma bombing and the battles of Lexington and Concord, but they changed their minds and decided to stage the massacre on Hitler's birthday instead.
