So, *you* want a king. Well, *I* don't.

223. I gladly stipulate I owe much of the weight & wisdom of the remark to the book

I just finished reading: "The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code"

I am imagine that this Code is no longer even mentioned in school. We cannot continue on our road to fascism by having our teachers instruct our kids as to what fascism is and how awful it is.

And of course, our President's main motto: Look forward, not back, is a most excellent and instrumental mental conditioning device that allows for us to continue on. If what happened ten years ago doesn't matter, and if what happened yesterday doesn't matter, then we are absolved of all crimes and of all sins, and continue with our behaviors into the rest of today and tomorrow.

Look forward, not back is part of the Big Lie. It instructs us to avoid taking responsibility,as American exceptionalism and those activities that support it are what any modern person would allow and encourage.

With exceptionalism being the new code word for "imperialism." ("Those awful folks in South America are destroying the rain forest. So war with them is okay." Or the meme someone here offered four days go - "Muslims kill gays so it is all right for Israelis to kill Palestinians.&quot
