When an opponent says, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us
already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a
short time they will know nothing else but this new community.” —Adolf Hitler
We need a national-corporate commitment to public service to look after [the elderly]. We aren’t able to
provide resources unless the young pay something for their patrimony through public service. —William F.

We will not recognize [American Fascism] as it rises. It will wear no black shirts here. It will probably
have no marching songs. It will rise out of a congealing of a group of elements that exist here and that are
the essential components of Fascism... It will be at first decorous, humane, glowing with homely American
sentiment. But a dictatorship cannot remain benevolent. To continue, it must become ruthless. When this
stage is reached we shall see that appeal by radio, movies, and government-controlled newspapers to all
the worst instincts and emotions of our people. The rough, the violent, the lawless men will come to the
surface and into power. This is the terrifying prospect as we move along our present course. —John T.

read: “If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison
control center immediately.”
Caught off guard, he didn’t have a good answer for Molly. For a week, she didn’t want to brush with
toothpaste. Now she is back to using it, but Statt worries that she is confused about the safety of toothpaste
and about the truth of poison labels. [End quoting]
The fluoride in toothpaste is a poison and there have been millions of words used in debating why it is
