The man on the street, especially tourists, must be sensitive to the prevailing sensibility.

Who cares if they call a AltDeutsheShafer hund a German Shepherd or an Alsatian?  I do, for one.  It&#039;s the principle of the situation, one example of the sanctioned, permitted idiocies that lead to all the rest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scipio:

The case concerning Newton is so clear, so obvious, so elementary that it moves beyond that debate into a debate of what is going on. How is there even debate? It’s all there, even in English texts, especially in English texts. It does spur OCD impulses, how can it not?  I know it’s impolite, but I must believe that the favor is granted by standing up and questioning what is certainly clever insanity.

As for Babbage, he copied Liebniz designs; this is obvious; there can only be ignoring the obvious.

Darwin not only did not first propose the theory of evolution &#8212; Mendel had already demonstrated the mathematical system of heritability &#8212; but most of all, Darwin was wrong! Lamark was right, yet we are still hung with Governments, Social systems and people whose systems of social and biological analyse is based on Darwinian twaddle, and it is destroying all cultures equally.

Russell is a non-entity; he is a showman and bad playwright, nothing more. Have you read Principia? It amounts to nothing. He is trying to be a British substitute for Nietzsche by pretending to be a mathematician. Another celebrity working to be seen as an intellect, by being a celebrity, much like Darwin.

Russell was a harbinger of the tendency of Anglo literary celebrities (like Beckett, who is a extreme monstrosity) to court fame by being seen as incomprehensibly ‘smart’. Read the Principia however, and it says nothing very cleverly.

It has got so bad the British now bring out a spastic, drooling idiot in a wheelchair with a voice-box (because in all likelihood someone offstage is reading script) who repeats in some cases almost verbatim Heisenberg&#039;s musing letters to Bohr, and suddenly another British Celebrity Genius For The World! And then there is Einstein, and things really begin to blur. 

How are we doing any favors to European peoples, much less German or British peoples, who stand on the brink of cultural and historical annihilation, by playing along with this insanity. I must be as you suggest, a little stupid and impolitic, by asking what is going on here. It seems other people ask too, but then withdraw immediately when faced with the fact the information is right in front of your face, but it’s impolitic to ask about it.  Stay calm, keep a stiff upper lip, and good luck.

But these and your questions are generalities based on particulars. It’s proper to deal with the particulars before the generalities. I do not see questioning madness as a wrong to German or British peoples. It is our heritage to seek truth, not propagate complete fallacies. But let’s go back to the Alsatian/DeutscheShaferhund question.

This absolutely confuses me, perhaps you can help as a ‘largely extracted Prussian’ yourself.  (I am also Prussian, unextracted, but abroad).  How is it impolitic to protest and condemn this appropriation of our historic, loved and excellent animals?  I understand for the British it’s a deeply ingrained habit.  Do we not serve the British people better by asking them about their deeply ingrained habit to rewrite and distort all history for everyone?  Was that for the purpose of the inscription on their tombstone? For they are only a decade or two from complete dispossession. Everyone asks why but doesn’t want to know if it conflicts with their ego.  Instead it’s &quot;look, we won WWI &amp; II, and you started it&quot;. 

But wait, who actually did start it? Who declared war on whom, in both cases?  And why?  Does it matter?  I think it does, but let’s move back to our dogs. How about this renaming our dogs to again distort history. The AltDeutsche Schaferhund registered in 1901 are Prussian, not Alsatian.  As geographical entities they are two different pieces of earth, the dogs and the wolves are from Dershou.  So what I am saying is naming it an Alsatian is in every sense wrong &#8212; historically, geographically, culturally and taxonomically. All right, it’s propaganda, yet it’s still a lie, in every sense.  Continually repeating mistruth does not make it truth. The excuse for propaganda is a while ago.  What about now?  Why are they still lying?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And I thought I had odd historical hangups...

Anyway, etype, if Newton (I&#039;ll go out on a limb and say your more of a Leibniz man), Babbage, and Darwin aren&#039;t you speed, how about G.H. Hardy, Bertrand Russell (whatever you think of his politics he was a brilliant mathematician), Francis Galton, J.J. Thompson, or William Harvey? If we expand this from English to British we gain David Hume, Adam Smith, James Hutton, and Joseph Black among others. If we include engineers; great doers as well as thinkers, it explodes in size.

And FNN, &quot;barely tolerable as human beings&quot; seems a bridge too far, even if I agree that they&#039;ve fallen on some difficult times. I agree that all of Europe is probably a little too fearful of a strong Germany, but you can hardly say there&#039;s no reason for that. Two reasons, in fact; now conveniently labeled &quot;I and II&quot; in most history texts. 

Before you jump all over me, yes I agree that Germany was not responsible for the Great War (at least, no more than France, Austria-Hungary, or Russia). No, that was the doing of the Serbians and their magnificent employment of the &quot;Leeeeeroy Jenkins&quot; strategy. They were certainly responsible for the second, however.

I&#039;m of largely East Prussian extraction myself, but you are hardly doing the German peoples a favor by showing off these sorts of odd historical-OCD neuroses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Isegoria, this is twaddle, of which you should be ashamed to propagate. 

AltDeutscher Schäferhunds are called &quot;AltDeutscher&quot; or &quot;Old German&quot; because they have been around for centuries, before recorded Latin or Roman time. Von Stephaniz &lt;em&gt;registered&lt;/em&gt; the name in 1901 because that was when international breeding associations were formed, &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; because that was when the breed originated.

Furthermore, the UK kennel club changed the name for propaganda reasons, not to give the dog a nice name.  This is something no civilized country or person should recognize.  It is illegal, dishonest and contemptible.

Stop raping our culture.]]></description>
