| On a more somber note; my watching of the Berlin book burnings by enthusiastic young men disturbed me far more than the later holocaust (they were bad enough)pictures. I have tried to analyze this but the best that I can come up with that as bad as the holocaust was, it only dealt with the destruction of people; the former was the destruction of knowledge by illiterate hoodlums. I could digress into Senor Landa + the subjugation of the Inca region but why bother, Destruction of culture + knowledge is just that.
Never mistake motion for action.

Hate to say it, but most Germans insulated themselves from intellectual activity. I've met a few, doesn't affect me, so not my problem. Grizz

| Griz, it's not that so much because they are very intelligent people as a rule but they are also inbred in conformity to the system. Have you ever been to a German Concert? When they clap they clap in unison. A good case in point. We have many family friends + relatives still in Germany. About 4 years ago our friend Thurston came to spend his vacation here with us. At the time I had a 38 spl. setting on my workbench + he just froze up. He said if we were at home it would be my duty to report you to the authorities because you have a gun. No need to elaborate, you get the point.
