We are the Roman Empire. The Empire's capital, which began in Rome, then Istanbul, then north to Paris, London and Berlin, is now in the District of Columbia.
Americans call the National Socialist Party of Germany the Nazi Party, pronounced 'not z', i.e. not the end.
Just after the central government's attack on citizens at Waco, Texas, the American President at the time, B1, resigned his membership in the National Rifle Association (NRA) because the President of the Association referred to the assailants as "jackbooted thugs." A term that has resonated in my mind for decades.
That was a turning point. I began to realise that the gun debate was not as dichomtomous as my lily-white, over-educated, under exposed, affluent suburban upbringing had led me to believe. The NRA's President's remark caused me to consider becoming a member.
My dad Brad used to like to tell a joke. No doubt his retelling of this joke was apropos of time and place. I just don't know how or why it was apropos.
Why did the snail paint an S on his car?
So when he sped past people they would say “Look at that S car go”.
I was standing outside a mausoleum when I was given to understand the significance of s in the early iPhone model names.
Perhaps I was standing at the same spot my half-brother Mr. Jobs stood when he happened upon the significance. He and I share the same given name, which begins with s.
The Asian ideogram for peak or summit is often still used on topographical maps. The symbol, two interlocked Ss, was flipped by Chancelor Hitler (a democratically elected Chancelor) because his expansion was aimed at the Western Hemisphere, and the Asian character was from the Eastern Hemisphere.
Mr. Hitler killed six million people looking for my ancestors. As this road we are on unwinds, one of my greatest fears is the amassing of power in one individual.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Bradley Moore Allen
An observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
That problem individual might not be me. That person might be my descendant.
I said: if I have a child with Persistence, and that child grows up to be a jingoist, something good will grow out of the forces rising up to defeat that danger.
