[Leica] 1936 Summar

[wrs111445 at yahoo.com (Bill Smith)]

As I recall, 1936 was also year when a guy named A. Hitler was solidifying 
his power and the whole world did zilch. See any parallels to today? OBL 
could be the Hitler of today, except for Messrs. Bush and Cheney who have 
kept him holed up somewhere in a cave.

who are more interested in personal 
and executive power than the rights of their people.

The monumental figures were those who stood up to those who would 
destroy liberty. The same thing will have to happen now.

Variation on Catch 22--The enemy is anyone who's trying to steal your 
Constitution, including your commander-in-chief. You can bet he'll 
claim he's doing it for your own good and protection.
