Panzerlied

No glorification of the Nazi terror but, a great military march it surely is.

German lyrics	Approximate translation
First stanza
Ob's stürmt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht, Der Tag glühend heiß, oder eiskalt die Nacht, Bestaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn, Ja, unser Sinn, Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin.	Whether it storms or snows, whether the sun smiles upon us, The day glowing hot, or the freezing of night. Dusty are our faces, but joyful are our minds, Yes, our minds Our tank rushes forward in the storm.

How my work day goes........

               The Global Warming Survival Guide, Time Magazine cover from April, 2007

I guess in those 30 years, we discovered better ways to process the data? Woops, Ecological fallacy perhaps.
Who would argue against reducing harmful polluntants and preserving wildlife and its habitat? That all must support!
The politicalization of science to form a one world government, or that results in a loss of Liberty and Freedom is however NOT an acceptable coarse of action for this or any other democratic nation state.

I imagine it happened innocently enough, just like this...
