What a wonderful story. May it be replicated all over the world.

I always say, I'm not afraid of the government, I am afraid of people who are afraid of the government because it is your next door neighbour who turns you in. That, of course, is the point.

I think it was Alexander Solzhenitsyn who said governments throughout history have killed far more of their own citizens than enemy combatants ever did. Governments, tragically, know how to propagandize the public and divide us so that they can conquer us and steal our wealth.

I despair for humanity because just never seem to learn and recognize this with each generation. Because we don't learn our history, we are forever condemned to repeat it.
