Bert Brecht, who was a political refugee in the US, once said: every
country has got the government the people deserve. If you want to fight 
tyranny,, VOTE before it is to late! Dont sit on your TV- and convenience-
softened ***es, but stop tyranny before it begins. The percentage
of Germans voting in the late 20s, before Hitler took control, was dangerously
low. I think that the percentage of people voting here is far too low, also.

If you think you have to fight tyranny with arms, don't forget to shoot
yourself too. YOU are responsible, because YOU let it happen!

Now, don`t tell me that this is a silly philosophy. These arguments are
exactly the same that were used by the international court at
Nurenberg , when the court decided that the German people in its entity
were responsible for the reign of the Nazis, because THEY HAD LET IT HAPPEN!

BTW, I believe that the Nurenberg tribunal was absolutely right.
