104. Totally agree with you in your statements. Just yesterday, I

Finished reading a book on the Nuremberg Trials and their implicit directions to people in the future, (which would, of course, be us.)

One of the main directing philosophies in terms of even having these trials was to demonstrate to the world and for history that once a nation loses its moral compass, it will implode. And that was the case in Germany. It is a moral rule - when you as a people no longer have the inherent ability to see that right is right and wrong is wrong, that nation will not last very long.

There are so many parallels between what took place in Germany and what is happening here. Total censorship of certain ideas, for instance. Just as you were not able to question certain things in Germany, (for instance, everyone there knew that they should avoid asking where and what happened to their Jewish neighbors, without an actual memo being sent out to the citizens at large,) so too must an individual avoid raising certain issues in our society.
