… the line between democracy and fascism was not wealth, or education, or race, or age, or nationality. “Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi,” she wrote… “But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis,” she wrote. “Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like and what they don’t—whether it is breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi.”
Night Of The Living Dead checked off our horror film watch list…
Just finished watching The Mist… wow!… that was thought provoking apocalyptic horror… Marcia Gay Harden brilliant in role of religious zealot.
I like your dress,
… says the trans woman behind the vegetables at the farmers market. I have had this knee length sweater dress for almost a year now and this is the first time anyone read it as a dress. Most people take the less discordant view that it is a tunic. It’s the small things that can make us happiest.
Awesome lunchbox for Halloween!…
