Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

brainlessone, There was another time folks thought as you.

""The German people were lovers of the law, much like our nation's people love the law. Eventually the German bureaucracy began acting out above the law, making excuses to the people of Germany for those bad things they were doing. A diligent and good people accepted the politicians excuses for their government's misbehavior. Acceptance sometimes came with somewhat complimentary excuses for the bad things some of their favorite politicians were doing.

The German people loved (and some feared) the law, eventually at the expense of justice for all, including overlooking that a person is innocent until proven guilty. And not long after that, when facts could prove the guilt of a politician not worthy of office, the German people overlooked that, too.""
