Hello Matt,

MM>"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure
MM>of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for
MM>the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost
MM>any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation."
MM>- Adolf Hitler

"This year will go down in history.  For the first time, a civilized
nation has full gun registration.  Our streets will be safer, our
police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the
future!"
- Adolf Hitler (1935)

The German people loved Adolf Hitler, viewing him as their savior.
The Austrian people did the same.  And many others throughout Europe,
especially in France, as well as in Eastern Europe.

We (Americans) are the ones who demonized Hitler.  And we (Americans)
are the ones who won the war.  As such, it was us (Americans) who wrote
the history of WWII, how it all came about, and how we rebuilt Germany
and all of Europe (or at least the western part).

During the decades of partition, the very first sentence in the West
German constitution stated the first order of importance for the German
people - TO REUNITE ALL OF GERMANY!  That was the desire of all Germans,
whether they lived in the western part of Germany or in the eastern
part of Germany.

To this very day the German people do not blame Adolf Hitler or the
Nazis for starting WWII.  To Germans, Germany was fighting a defensive
war, with other countries being the aggressor.  "Why did you bomb our
cities?"  "Why did you bomb our schools?"  "Why did you bomb our
hospitals?"  "What have we done to deserve any of this?"

The partition of Germany was an effort by the Allied Powers to
contain Germany.  The creation of NATO was an American effort to
contain Germany.  The creation of the Warsaw Pact was a Soviet
effort to contain Germany.  Economic efforts to contain Germany
were also tried.  All to no avail, as the German people have
managed to overcome each and every obstacle placed before them.

MM>It seems it will happen with gun control.

It already has!  And it will happen again!

MM>I wonder if freedom of speech will also be eliminated in the
MM>future for the children as well.

Ask the children.  That is what The Great One wants us to do.
And we can never disagree with what our children tell us, now
can we?

MM> .. ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.

Teach your children well ...
