In dieser Zeit war die Angst vor dem Kommunismus größer als die Angst vor einem starken Deutschland. Ein wirtschaftlich und politisch starkes Westeuropa sollte vor dem Kommunismus schützen. Besonders Westdeutschland wollte nach dem Krieg wirtschaftlich, politisch und kulturell mit seinen Nachbarn zuissamenarbeiten, um wieder ein Teil Europas zu werden. Es wollte seinen Nachbarn zeigen, dass es wirklich für den Frieden war. So entstand die Europäische Gemeinschaft (EG) und ihre ersten Mitglieder waren außer Deutschland noch Belgien, Frankreich, Italien, Luxemburg und die Niederlande. In den nächsten Jahrzehnten bekam die EG immer mehr Mitglieder. Heute heißt die Organisation die Europäische Union (EU) und zu ihr gehören 25 Länder.

In this time the fear of the Communists grew as the fear of a strong Germany. An economic and politically strong Western Europe should protect from the Communists. In particular west Germany
would for the war economic, political, and cultural with its neighbors collaborate in order to again become a part of Europe. They wanted to show their neighbors that they were truly for peace.



So, the Republican National Committee Chair recently came out with a bigoted piece of drivel that I would like to edit a bit, thusly: "Because our children's future is best preserved within the traditional understanding of marriage, we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of love and commitment between adults, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it."

There, I fixed it for you.

Seriously, RNC and GOP and all you mostly-old mostly-white hidebound old farts, what is this preoccupation you have with my sex life? First I can't undergo a doctor-recommended medical procedure that might save my life because something terrible has happened without the state telling me I'm a bad person because I want to live despite something terrible happening (not even going into all the other reasons why one would want to undergo said medical procedure). Then you tell me I'm not entitled to take suitable precautions against having more of those welfare babies you keep bitching about, because I certainly can't afford to have a child right now and we're not even going into why that is. And now you tell me that it's damn lucky I zigged when I should have zagged, because if I'd actually dated any of the two-three girls I might have ended up with, I still wouldn't be able to marry her eventually even though they are all lovely women and it would affect you not in the slightest? Would you like to set up a camera in my bedroom to make sure I am only having approved sex in the approved positions with an approved partner? And that I'm not enjoying it because that would be Wrong? Wait, no, never mind, you probably would, so I withdraw the question.

I honestly have no idea why I'm so bitchy about this today, but it's really getting on my nerves. That RNC thing was the last straw. Oh! But! I know Home Depot and JC Penney are currently behaving well, and I know Lowes needs a stern letter. Does anyone else have any ideas for stores I should/shouldn't be shopping at, and who therefore need angry/happy letters of "You suck and therefore I will not be spending considerable dollars fixing up my new home at your store"/"You rock therefore I am shopping for my new house at your store with all of the shopping."?

Okay, I almost fell asleep at work, that's kind of a bad sign. Maybe there should be either early bedtime or a nap in my future. Hopefully there will be Miss Fisher in my future tonight. Hopefully I can stay awake. Although Sasha hyper helps.
