In any country, regardless of what its laws say, wherever people act upon the idea that the disadvantage of one man is the good of another, there slavery exists. Wherever, in any country the whole people feel that the happiness of all is dependent upon the happiness of the weakest, there freedom exists. ~ Booker T. Washington ~ Germany has the most robust economy in the EU, vote no and let the banks crash....no more bailouts for bankers that are stealing the wealth of the collective world.....make suffering start at the top..austerity will not be tolerated at the benefit/suffering of the less fortunate among humanity at large...boycott, boycott...hit the rich where it will hurt the most.. their wallet, else sellout, 4/5ths of the world have had to live within the meager means.... global revolution has started and will get worse before the global economy gets any better............kosmicdebris

The pressure of an all-powerful totalitarian state creates an emotional tension in its citizens that determines their acts. When people are divided into "loyalists" and "criminals" a premium is placed on every type of conformist, coward, and hireling; whereas among the "criminals" one finds a singularly high percentage of people who are direct, sincere, and true to themselves-Czesław Miłosz
