The Warrior's Code

[Laurie Verge]

I agree with Gene's assessment also. I think the rise of Hitler's regime should serve as an eternal warning to democratic people to pay close attention to the direction that their government leaders are taking. Devious minds can completely transform government, society, and history.

To relate it to our Civil War: Let's take slavery out of the equation just for the moment and focus on the idea of which form of government would have better served the growing United States -- the large, central government as viewed by many Republicans, or the confederation of states as envisioned by the South? Economics would play a large part in the debate, and economics was a large part of the German issues in the 1930s as Hitler rose to power. I guess what I'm trying to say is "follow the money" because it can transform your government and your way of thinking - and even your humanity. How's that for waxing philosophically...
