Kristallnacht

Are you referring to the ability to see, I think it's Mars, really well tonight? Or the event in German history?

PantyFanatic 03-25-2010 09:23 PM

OH! What historical event would come to mind today? :confused:



;)

Well, it happened in November and it's more commonly known as the Night of Broken Glass. It was a night in which many Jews were taken from their homes and murdered by Nazi soldiers. Which is one reason why I asked, since it's March and not November.

It's not the date but the deed I find interesting. ;)

Commit an atrocity and proclaim it the will of the people? Nothing new about that.

Sad, but true.

I prefer, kill 1 person and you're a murderer kill 1 million and you're a conqueror.

Oldfart 03-26-2010 05:25 PM

The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a hundred is a catastrophy, the death of a million is a statistic. Joe Stalin, I think.

But remember that a single dagger is treason while a thousand sabers is revolution.

Oldfart 03-26-2010 07:33 PM

Isn't revolution merely treason on an industrial scale?

Lord Snow 03-26-2010 09:55 PM

Revolution is successful treason. Remember remember the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

Too late, the Governments have taken huge steps to keep treason from succeeding, so sure are they that they are always right. I hope they're right, or we'll cop it from both sides.

I don't know, but it sounds like you might want to leave your guns at the door. :)
