      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              Being smart is not always wise.              I came to think that if I was more intelligent, they'd only get rid of me       sooner and in a more unpleasant and disgraceful way.              Being wise may mean keeping one's standards and values and keeping       his head on his shoulders under some dictator or tyrant, or oppressive       system with capital punishment for verbal delict.              Sometimes, however, very wise people could only emigrate or end up       in gulags or crematoriums.              It is not commonly said that the Jews were not the only victims of       the holocaust, but also the Poles and the Russians.              Sometimes their only crime was that they were born of the wrong       nationality or religion on a territory someone imagined to be their Lebensraum.              in the Lord       Amen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
