apropos quote re: today's politics

[felicula]

My dad sent me this quote today.

"It is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
-Hermann Goering at Nuremberg

Hello, you recently added to me to your friends, and upon reading a bit of your journal, I'd like to add you too. Do you mind if I ask how you found my journal?

You're certainly welcome to add me. I found your journal when I was looking into some of the interesting names on linguaphiles. In my spare time, I sometimes peek around lj for others who might be interesting to read.
