Hmmm,,, that's worth a second or third look. An initial reaction would be
thinking back to the German mindset of the early 20th century Alle est en
ordnung. (forgive the spelling it isn't one of my languages) which valued
obedience to the State, Party, Family above all. Give many decades of
National then International Socialism which has no room for individualism
and living in fear if you don't make the trains run on time....hmmm....I
think it would be odd not to find that viewpoint. As some of our fellow
posters have shown time and time again having to think, evaluate, reason,
ascertain facts for oneself is not always possible. Sometimes it's just
easier to follow the party line be it Herr Carville or Herr Goebbels. You
have to admit members of the former 'other party' like Doug or Thom are
damn few and far between. In that light I think you'll see a huge
difference with the Libertarians as the new second party especially as we
move ever closer to the formation of the North American Union.

I don't know Michael, however, my daughter just spent 6 months in East
Germany, and one of the things that surprised her most was that the people
their, particularly the older folks who lived through the nightmare, do
not
seem to have adjusted well to freedom. Very odd.
