    ... herr hitler made it quite clear that what he was aiming at was the "unity" of a people drilled to obedience in every sphere of life... so that leaders would have in the "united"' people an instrument of power which they cold use for implementing any decision which they might make.
    - leonard woolf.

    this is not something unique to hitler im thinking. we see it every day in everything our politicians say. so when we think that the fascist govt of germany would never happen 'here', mayhaps we might like to pause and think what it is we agree with... and at what expense we do so.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I know many non-Angelinos don't know him, but he was a fixture out here for many years. I shed tears today when I learned of his death.

    “One glance at (a book) and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millenia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time.”
    ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
    "It's a sad and beautiful world"
    -Roberto Benigni
