Mayor concludes: "Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany ~ It was what most Germans wanted -- or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it. I came back home a little afraid for my country, afraid of what it might want, and get, and like, under pressure of combined reality and illusions. I felt -- and feel -- that it was not German Man that I had met, but Man. He happened to be in Germany under certain conditions. He might be here, under certain conditions. He might, under certain conditions, be I."

And what about automatic policies and depoliticized commissions? </i><br /><br />Imagine a law that says anyone who, acting in their capacity as a law- or rule-maker, proposes or votes for a law or rule that violates the Constitution, or acting in their executive or judicial capacity, attempts to enforce or support such a law or rule, must be suspended from office immediately by action of their peers, and if said peers fail to act within some short time TBD, they are automatically suspended and replaced in <i>their</i> jobs by action of the next group in line of succession. And this continues to cascade until someone takes action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
