31. Seeing that depression led to the rise of fascism and nazism . . .

I suggest, with due respect, that a depression coupled with endless fear of terrorist attacks will lead to even more circling the wagons and enforcing a rigid nationalist/"Christian"-religionist orthodoxy. In other words, be careful what you ask for. It may bring the purging of leftists and "politicals" as it did in Germany in the thirties, and this time it will be even more effective, thanks to electronic databases and the Internet.

Some distant island in the South Pacific is looking more attractive every day . . .
