Today's Favorite Quote

Lately, I've been reading a lot of WWII biographies on the Nazi's. Not because I'm a Nazi sympathizer, but because I think there's a lot to learn from their regime and control over an entire nation. Today, I cam across an excellent quote that should be examined and applied to today's culture,

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all is is the leaders of a country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag [people] along whether it is a democracy or fascist dictatorship. Voice of no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

Herman Georing, Reich-Marshall to Hitler

The main purpose for writing about this is for you, the reader, to start questioning the accepted norms and values others have placed on us. Please don't take this as a spark for anarchy. Pursue your convictions and passions and challenge the hypocrisies and double standards.

Thanks,

Char
