2. At the risk of Godwining on post 1...

3. LOL! I forgot about Godwin's Law!
Takes me back to my early wild and wooly Usenet days. Yup, poster #1 both wins and loses. (YOU, on the other hand, are entirely too sly...Touche!)

Sounds like something he would say although I don't know his works as well as someone who really studies him.

7. Reminds me of a Stalin quote (which is still troublesome today)...
"One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."

9. It is Hitler, and it's

With so many powerful interests clamoring (and succeeding in too many cases) to do our thinking for us -- we cannot afford to ignore this lesson in history.We should all commit this quote to memory.
