[quote=Zeitgeist]TG,
Translation your bum might be an angel in disguise to test the charity in your heart. As for patb, Apocalyptic- I consider World War II Apocalyptic and it was a direct result of the economic damage created by the crash. Unless you think we have too many people and that removing a large amount of the males will improve the quality of the world, then what is your definition of Apocalyptic?[/quote]
Zeitgeist: Yeah, that remark by Pat struck me as well. 50 million dead ain’t apocalyptic?
I’m paraphrasing a comment I heard about the policies of the Italy, the US and Germany during the 1930’s, which went: “Italy chose the past, America chose the future, and Germany chose oblivion”. World War II WAS a direct result of the Great Depression and also was a result of the “unfinished business” of WWI, too.
It certainly was apocalyptic. I think you’d get no argument from the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on that count.
