I also agree with historians who say that Hitler's dictatorship worked for him in controlling and manipulating the German population. There was hardly any internal resistance in Nazi Germany. Is unwitting obedience to arbitrary authority really the values we want to instill in our youth?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095977148103127813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22443079.post-62950425128635084602008-09-28T14:24:00.000-04:002008-09-28T14:24:00.000-04:00Found you via the Carnival.

I told my students I was the Queen and rules would be followed. This wasn't a democracy and there would be no voting for anything unless I allowed it. I also rewarded my subjects for good behavior and good work so all was well. I rarely had behavior problems so my system worked for me.loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22443079.post-79982836726986098122008-09-23T23:05:00.000-04:002008-09-23T23:05:00.000-04:00I totally agree...we have "good ideas, executed in...I totally agree...we have "good ideas, executed in half-assed fashion" too!
