Remember Germany?

This is the very first post I ever publish about politics, politics that have nothing to do with geeky things. I won’t be doing this very often because I try not to debate politics and religion… they are “Byzantine Discussions” and while they cause a lot of fire, they end up with very little agreement… So that’s that.

A co-worker and friend sent me an article about how was Germany doing back in the 1920’s, and comparing it to what we are going through as a Country:

“It seems there are election campaigns going on all the time, and they are increasingly vicious. The politicians just want to argue about moral issues — sexuality, decadent art, the crumbling family and the like — while pragmatic matters of governance seem neglected.

Sound familiar? That society was Germany of the 1920s — the ill-fated Weimar Republic. But it also describes more and more the political climate in America today.”

I hope I got your attention, now I strongly recommend you to read Brian Fogarty’s article.
