Perhaps we should quietly
rebuild re-constitute the "White Rose"
That group of ordinary Germans that resisted the Nazis.
Part of me can't believe that this has become necessary again.
If I were still on the Air I'd use that position to make useful trouble.
As it is all I can do is suggest...
The Way of the Rose.
From darkness to Light.
Before the White Rose was formally organized it is said that Sophie Scholl printed and distributed a sermon by Clemens August Graf von Galen as a leaflet. The main subject of the sermon was a condemnation of the T4 program of systematic murder of the mentally ill, as well as the mentally or physically disabled. For her troubles Sophie was convicted of high treason and was executed by guillotine.

Sophie along with Walt Whitman are among the very few historical persons that I'd like to have known. Even been friends with. If the many afterlife myths are in someway true. I hope I run into them. Maybe have pizza cokes, and laugh.
