I recall a comment made by an Army Officer in a documentary about Desert Storm. They had taken many prisoners and loaded them in the back of his Bradley. One of the prisoners noticed a picture of Rommel taped to the inside and asked "why do you have a picture of your old enemy?" His driver responded "Shut up, and if you'd spent more time learning about him, you wouldn't be sitting in the back of my track" Pronoun: His Royal Highness and benevolent Majesty of all he surveys 343 - Never Forget Its better to be Pavlov's dog than Schrodinger's cat There are three types of mistakes; Those you learn from, those you suffer from, and those you don't survive. | |||

While they're at it, shouldn't they be banning Mercedes Benzes, BMWs, Porsches, Maybachs, Volkswagons, and such since one could show how these companies supported the Reich's war machine? EDIT: Dang it, those kids will have to stop driving Japanese cars, and oh yes, Italian sportcars because several of those companies/industries supported the Axis. If they really want to be logically and ethically consistent. Double edit: I guess Patton should be posthumously reprimanded for having read Rommel's book!  If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||

Logic and ethics are not involved here, and maybe not even practiced any more in universities. Kind of like dinosaurs, you hardly ever see them these days. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Patton should be reprimanded for being too aggressive. Someone could have gotten hurt. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||
