It is also a good idea for Good People to think from time to time on the Nature of Evil its different Forms and how it has Shown its Face in the Past.
Some think because we do not see a Great Evlil ie people being marched off to Death Camps there is not much to worry about,
They over look the reality that a mulititude of Small Evils can and have equaled a Great Evil.
Then there are Incremental Evils that appear small at first and without attention can grow very large.
They also Forget the Past and sometimes they hear something and they think now that sounds good I will use it, without considering or even Knowing where it came from.
After our last meeting when we elected officers a former Chair from another County who often visits our meetings asked me if I noticed that the person who won the office of Secretary promised to
Make the Trains Run On Time,
OUCH
The two Greatest Quotes from the Facistic States of the 20th Century were.
Hitlers Ein Volk Ein Reich Ein Fuhrer (One Folk, One Regime, One Leader)
and
Mussolinis's Make the Trains Run On Time
But at least he did not march up to the podium and Scream
One Central Committee, One Executive Board, One Chair!
However we do know that the Gentleman is not that enthusiastic about thngs such as Constitutions and Rules of Order when he thinks they get in the way of What HE Thinks everyone should be doing,
He looked me in the eye once and told me that we should get RID of Robert's Rules of Order because they got in the way of Gettiong Things Done,
I knew at that moment that I would never forget that being said and never Trust this person in a position of power,
He also when we were voting on removing a member of the Committee for a Violation of the Constitution ie supporting a candidate running against a Republican Huffily Grumped "What does THIS have to do with GETTING REPUBLICANS ELECTED" and Out of Order I might add but Rules of Order do not seem to matter to him and voted against enforcing the penalty in the Constitution,
I am Odd in that I THOUGHT I was supposed to support Getting Republicans Elected BECAUSE they SUPPORTED the Constitution and Rule of Law.
The Logic that we should IGNORE a Constituion, ByLaws and Rules of Order to help Elect someone who will uphold A Constitution and Rule of Law escapes me.
So we do not need Great Evils we have a multitude of Small ones trying to Grow Larger.
Someone needs to stand up and not be Silent,
But I will admit if I ever start to go into a meeting and I hear a bunch of people chanting
One Central Committee, One Executive Board, One CHAIR!
I'm Getting Out
