Dear Perrie, thank you for your blog post. I just want to react to your last remark about Japan, not dwelling on the atomic bomb. I guess you are not aware of the atrocities committed by Japan, like lots of massacres in China leaving 10 million Chinese people (civil society) dead, just to mention one example. Japan also does not dwell on that. I do not want to say it was right to drop an atomic bomb. I just would not take Japan as a bright example. Also it is not only a sovereign country, but also an eiland, which helps to have a certain autonomy. Keep on writing! Julia

thank you for your kind reply and quotes, I like it that you quote Erich Fromm. For your last post, two more quotes:
There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.
Charles de Montesquieu
Laws are Like Sausages. Better Not to See Them Being Made (attributed to Bismarck)
All the best,
Julia
Please help me turn the crazy off. You're the only one who knows it.
