One Mr. Hitler, and several other infamous characters throughout the epochs have subjected the planet to their grand designs. These cultural upheavals unfolded over years, if not decades. Now that history is as instant as a TV dinner due to Bill Gates, I wonder how many of our more revered past leaders & presidents would have survived the daily assault of today's polls & blogisphere mentality. Would Honest Abe have lived even long enough to have met Mr. Booth if a Cindy Sheehan in gingham could have invaded every household 24/7 with portraits & resumes every fallen yankee & rebel who lifted a rifle? Perhaps our lack of historical hindsight is "a good thing" (thanks, Martha), & this century's demand for "results NOW", will somehow lead us all to world peace & paradise.

But I doubt it.

Hitler was NOT a German!! He was born in Austria. I never knew how much I did NOT know about American politics till I spent some time with a 'Nationalized' former subject of the crown! His quote, " It isn't perfect, but it sure beats the HELL out of what comes second". ( on American politics)
