The breakthrough of the German revolution has again cleared the way on the German path...The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you.

I looked down and saw empty shelves. Others were also peering down and I heard someone say that this is where the Nazis kept books before burning them. It gave me chills.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-61704628879095882682014-09-22T18:26:52.549-07:002014-09-22T18:26:52.549-07:00"I tell you, we are here on earth to fart aro..."I tell you, we are here on earth to fart around..." <br />I heard him speak once in California, early 80's. <br />Odd isn't it, here 400 miles north and east of you, we're at around 150% of our average moisture through rain and snow.
