A difference between me and many of my friends is that most of my friends believe that manners and decorum mean that a person will not participate in fascism. Maybe it is the lesson that my bitter Jewish grandmother taught me, but I've always believed that aristocrats can push us into the ovens.
Also, this is a time when I'm glad to be a Jew: my people have always been on the outs with the majority and we've had to fend for ourselves. We take the long view of history and the law. We hope it will change -- if not this year, then next year. Or the year after. Don't like the law? Change it.
