Greetings List Member...
This afternoon I have to facilitate a group of students on ethical
diplemias. It is a mixed group of students... dental, dental hygiene,
nursing, physician assistant, occupational therapists, and physical
therapists...from BS to doctorate level. I feel the case studies will be
"pale" compared to this situation. I think I will start the discussion off
with a beautiful american poem (my Grandfather's favorite)...I believe it is
from the 1930s era. It is still true today...that we must united our world
community...and not let these evil acts destroy "our house by the side of
the road"! We will make these individuals accountable for their evil acts
against mankind...and OUR house will stand!!!
Take care,

The House by the Side of the Road
Sam Walter Foss
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the peace of their self-content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran;-
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban:-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife.
But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears-
Both parts of an infinite plan;-
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
But still I rejoice when the travellers rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by-
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish-so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?-
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
