Folks, listen up. When the Patriot Act passed, my grandmother called my mother and said "Get out! Get out now! I've seen this before- this is how it starts! Come back to Germany!"<br />
<br />
And now Mrs. Rainey is saying the same thing.<br />
<br />
For those who don't know- Germans don't invoke names like Goebbels as a joke. That was a very serious accusation, and not one that should be met with disbelief or even anger, but with an instant stop and a moment of self-reflection.<br />

I cannot stop crying.<br />

My mother-in-law married a german whose uncle was in the Waffen SS. (needless to say his family don't talk to him any more.) Vater-in-law has been helping intellectually disabled ppl in AU for years. Mutter-in-law's parents (badass academics) went on a cycle tour of Europe in 1935 - they came back to NZ and told Rotary Club members/whoever that sh!t was going down in Europe.<br />
<br />
No-one would believe them.<br />
<br />
Make your own judgment.<br />

If I had any family left in the USA, I would tell them to<br />
Get.<br />

F*ck.<br />
Out.<br />
