"Kraft durch Freude".

I want to believe Americans are less gullible and foolish than Germans. Just not able to accomplish this leap of faith. Is it misanthropy or disappointment? Childish idealism yielding to experience? Curmudgeonly dyspepsia? A late night and winter darkness? ;-)

Have you read "The wave" by Morton Rhue? The author describes an experiment he did with his HS students about becoming more and more Nazi-like. It´s in the human nature to cheer with others people who brush up your self-esteem. And that´s basically how the Nazis seized power, or any other dictator for that matter.
