To those who think some of us are being a bit hard on Conrad and his viewpoint:    I think you need to take a look at these pictures. It might give you a clue as to why a lot of people here don't take kindly to what Conrad is peddling. If you still don't understand, then I'm afraid your moral compass has lost its needle.

You see, we've been here before, and these are a few of the things that happened:   THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And all thought by THESE folks to be making the world a better place.

Conrad might like THIS. It's the cover of a piece of music from Germany in the 1930s. The title means something like "Hail to the Chief."

The above are images from over half a century ago. Caused a lot of problems. Millions—many millions—of people wound up dead.

The following images are from today:

THIS. And THIS. And THIS. And THIS.

Who do you suppose is THIS young man's hero?

If THIS doesn't give you cold chills, turn your stomach, and/or make you very angry, then as a human being, I would say that they may as well put a tag on your toe, throw a sheet over you, and close the drawer. Because morally speaking, to all intents and purposes, you're dead.

In The Inferno, Dante had a few things to say about people like that.
