“A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess.” ~ Quote by A. Philip Randolph ~

"Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality...."--David Ellner
Why was so much effort put into propaganda?
At no time up to 1933, did the Nazi Party win a majority of votes at elections. They may have been the largest political party in 1933, but they did not have a majority of support among the people. Therefore, those who had supported the Nazis needed to be informed on how correct their choice was with an emphasis on the strength of the party and the leadership. Those who opposed the Nazi Party had to be convinced that it was pointless continuing with their opposition. The fact that Goebbels had so much power is indicative of how important Hitler thought it was to ensure that the people were won over or intimidated into accepting Nazi rule.
I believe that the reason the world has gone so wrong is that there is so much apathy. People are too willing to ignore the problems and hope somebody else will take care of them. I and others am asking that you stand up and make a difference in whatever way you can. Lending your voice could be the thing that makes a difference. Albert Einstein was indeed a wise man and many of my favorite quotes come from him. Two such quotes are -
* Nothing I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice, I can help in the greatest of all causes -- goodwill among men and peace on earth.
* The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
