NYT Book Review: Historian's "Five Germanys I Have Known" |
Sounds like another boring history book to avoid, because the phenomena
are that relevant.
For instance: Mankind isn't so backward as it was way back then.
If the family had duly converted, then why flee circa 1938
nevertheless?
"Miracle Grow:" would ya eat a tomato from it? I have, & am rumoredly
not dead.
I know-it: Alan Ginsburg gay Jewish poet--Ommmmmm.
And vatever happened to that doctor-touting
acquaintance Einstein?
His school's math lesson post-1933:
If Juden-swine embezzle the national treasury,
then how many Deutch-marks does it take for the
Jews to monopolize the bread industry?

Communication and transportation are much cheaper now anyway.

Nazis were racists and, just to be on the safe side, treated all
"conversions" as scams.
Kind of like Bush and Cheney will eventually treat everyone as
detainees, "just to be safe."
"Miracle Grow:" would ya eat a tomato from it? I have, & am rumoredly
not dead.

What if some of these guys who were smart enough to get out just in
time had to do it again?
It would be one hell of a story . . . kind of like those Southern
rebels who fled to Brazil only to have to fight and lose again trying
to preserve slavery. One had this on his tombstone: "Once a rebel
twice a rebel always a rebel."
In case you are wondering what I _really_ think the U. S. today seems
more like 1833 France than 1933 Germany:
1. U. S. federalism; the president just doesn't have all that much
power domestically; No one fears losing his job by opposing the
presidunce. Fundies are the exception.
2. large minority populations act like a break water
3. Germans were always the most anti-semitic
Cheap communications technology is quickly reintroducing democracy and
what's left of the 20th century ancien regime are still trying to fight
it.
We need an A. O. Shultzberger, Jr. or some pillar of the national
community to play the role of DeTocqueville and tell the geezers still
stuck in the 20th Century:
"It's over. Instead of allowing democracy to reestablish itself willy
nilly, we ought to use this as an opportunity to guide it, to
educate/prepare the people for self rule. ANTHING is better than that
Cahill guy running around telling everyone that we want the public to
believe that 'Pat Robertson came over on the Mayflower'."
