F-ck the "garbled database" business.

Sorry, seems I mistook you for someone more intelligent than you are.

Here is the "intelligent" version:

If the "garbled database" will prevent TIPS from being useful, why bother? If it won't prevent information on you from being retrieved, it's a menace.

In any case, it's disgusting to encourage Americans to become informants on each other. It's no different than what took place under the Nazis or the Communists.

”Guns Before Butter.”


"Guns before butter" - an interesting tag line! It is one of the most famous phrases to emerge from Nazi Germany, for sure.

" ...That was in 1932. Throughout the years we find him connected with the rearmament of the German Armed Forces. On 16th March, 1935, it was Hess who signed the decree for the introduction of compulsory military service. On 11th October, 1936, in a speech that he made, he took up Goering's cry of "Guns before Butter," when he said:

"We are prepared in the future, too, if need be, at times to eat a little less fat, a little less pork, a few eggs, since we know that this little sacrifice is a sacrifice on the altar of the freedom of our people. We know that the foreign exchange which we thereby save, expedites the output of armaments."

The phrase still holds good to-day -- guns instead of butter."
