RE: [Leica] Leni Riefenstahl has died at age 101

		B.D. wrote about Riefenstahl that "she...knew precisely what
she was doing, and...We all make choices...and are ultimately judged by
those choices."

		People are constantly doing all sorts of things, but to
comment on their behaviors by saying that people "make choices" is to say
nothing at all.  Science tells us that we live in a world of cause and
effect, and the operative question about any behavior is, "What caused it?"
Not an easy question to answer, to say the least, but if nothing else, we
should understand that to answer the question of "What caused the behavior?"
is also to answer the question of "What caused the choice?"  The choice does
not cause the behavior; rather the cause of the choice and the cause of the
behavior are the same.

		No, Chris, she was a Nazi propagandist who knew precisely
what she was doing, and who's film, which you view as a simply documentary,
has been oft credited with helping Hitler win broad support in Germany and
beyond.

		We all make choices in this life, and we are ultimately
judged by those choices.

		BD,

		The world is a better place - for her having left it.
