here is something my girlfriend sent me the other day, after reading the Klinton-Antifreedom/terror news Setting: Germany in the late 30's. Quote from "Stones from the River", by Ursula Hegi. I think this rings true for our country today. The tragic reality is that the majority of people have simply forgotten the urge to question what they read in the news. "The people of Burgdorf went to parades and speeches--some because they genuinely believed in their leaders; others, because not to go would call attention to themselves. Most practiced the silence they were familiar with, a silence nurtured by fear and complicity that would grow beyond anything they could imagine, mushrooming into the decades after the war which, some began to fear, was about to happen. To justify this silence, they tried to find the good in their government or fled into the mazes of their own lives, turning away from the community. They knew how not to ask questions; they had been prepared for it by government and church. Over the years, they had forgotten that early urge to question."

His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud.. I wonder if he knew what he was getting into... Or was he just lost in the flood?"
