Errrr .. Anyone wanna join "The Party that thinks things are pretty much ok"?
Enough flexibility to change.
Enough to stability to continue.

hahaha... Colin, imagine daring to suggest that things "are just ok". we would be lynched in the town square and our houses burned and our familes exiled.
Fear is a natural thing. people are driven by emotion. primarily fear and insecurity. its what keeps you worrying about safety, security and well being. Sociologist Abraham Maslow offers some great insight into why "things are never ok" for people. Right after we eat, drink and fuck - fulfilling our most basic and immediate physiological needs ... minds are freed from worrying about the most mundane things, so that we can start worrying about black helicopters circling overhead again.
me? i dont care. i dont think its rational to compare our government to Hitler. some dont think so. i sincerely doubt however that Austria or Poland is getting nervous... or that we will be starting a program for euthanizing crippled kids anytime soon.
people that truly scare me, are the people that are afraid and start making such extreme comparisons.
