Dead this. Goring quote is right on the money. Where did you get this ?


QUOTE=Dead Money;4143140]"Naturally, the common people don't want war ...

But after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."





Hermann Goring...A member of the NSDAP from its earliest days, G?ring was wounded in 1923 during the failed coup known as the Beer Hall Putsch.

[Dead Money]

As I drove home today with the moon roof open, windows down, in a blustery cool spring Oklahoma day, I awed at the vibrant blue sky, sprinkled with billowy majestic fast moving white clouds.

Sometimes, even the simplest things need to be revered as they seasonably repeat themselves, un-noticed by most.



Anyhow, this quote seemed especially appropriate.

"?If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.?

"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ?Look at that, you son of a bitch'."

- Edgar Mitchell, aeronautical engineer and Apollo astronaut, speaking about what it feels like to look at the Earth from space
