He covered little ground that was       not plowed in Martin Luther's 1543 treatise 'On the Jews and Their       Lies'. Even Marx weighed in with "Zur Judenfrage" 300 years later.              Rationality of humans is vastly overstated and propagandists are skilled       on bringing out the real mental state.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
