?Why of course the people don’t want war. … That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship …Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.?

Who said that? Hitler?s accomplice, Hermann Goering (commander of the German Air Force and president of the Reichstag), at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals in 1946.

I wish I could have been in the room during the brainstorming session that led to San Francisco protesters stage a ‘vomit in’.

Protester #1: Ok people. Big march on Thursday.. lets come up with some non-violent acts of civil disobedience.
Protester #2: Hmmm. We could link arms through piping and stand in the street, shut down most of the financial district and piss off thousands of people.
Protester #1: No, Stacey’s group is already doing that. Come on people. Think! Think!
Protester #3: How about a Pimple-Pop In?
Protester #1: That’s good! But no. It doesn’t express how outraged we are by this war.
Protester #4: How about a poop-in?
Protester #1: Now you’re talking! But does that really properly illustrate how disgusted we are by the actions of our government?
Protester #5: Umm.. Pap Smear In?
Random Protesters: Scab Pick In! Mucus In! Toe Cheese In! Eye Booger In!
Protester #1: No people! We need something that will let the world know this war makes us sick. Sick to our very stomachs! Sick to… Sick? Sick!
All Protesters: Ah Ha! Sick!
