Lin,
An interesting quote that was brought to my attention when I got embroiled in the sex crime mess:
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
The speaker? None other than Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf. Strange how our supposed “democracy” is using his playbook.
