Powell, 4 months
I am providing this to avoid being cited by feline-failure-to-post-a-feckin-foto enforcement officials.
More importantly (and to insure you don't think this has become one of those) I pose this rhetorical observation:
Because I do not happen to own a book of Hitler's writings or quotes, I used a small strand of the web to find some of what he said or wrote. This month, I decided, would be Adolf's month not only because I wanted to know what the web would reference for a notoriously bad guy (and since he was prolific and outspoken, I chose him) but, mostly, because I thought that evil people probably say the darnedest things.
Before I could get to that strand of the web, I let the google do its thing. But, it declined.
Normally, I would type a few letters and it would give me ten options and I'd scroll-click. Not this time. All the way to 'a.d.o.l.f. .h.i.t.l.e' . . . and not listed as a suggestion. I found the lack of his name in the suggestion drop-down rather baffling.
It is there now. Obviously. As soon as I type 'a.d', but that's because I'm treading trodden ground.
The first time around though, the google didn't want me to learn about the bad man. It caused me to mutter, 'Open the door Hal'.
That was my first curious hmmm. My second hmmmm (a bit longer) came as I scanned the things he is attributed with saying. I try to make some association with the topic of my post in the quote. Not always. And the quote I choose does not always have a connection that's readily apparent to others, but I try. Not so easy with this extremely insane Austrian.
Every quote engine has the same few dozen (or less) quotes. Almost all of them paint a very bleak picture. To scan his quotes is to see he was a bigoted dullard. A manipulative, fucktard. Not very imaginative. Not very well spoken.
The weak offerings from the quote engines may be sufficient for someone writing a 3-page paper for World History Class, but it only makes me want to know where the real writings are; because it's too much like the google declining to help me.
A lengthy search did uncover some translations of his writings; I still haven't found any direct quotes about pets, or his dogs, or animals in general. So, this will suffice.
A meeting between two beings who complete one another, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, on a miracle. — Adolf Hitler

It's rather like (somewhat, but not really) how you can't find any National Socialist-related items on eBay anymore. Which would naturally make a person seek out other venues from which to purchase things of that nature.
Hrrm. After writing the above paragraph, I checked the Bay of e to see if I could find a replacement for the Totenköpf pin that I lost a year ago, and I guess you can buy Nazi stuff there, as long as you don't use the word 'Nazi'.
And lest anyone think that I'm some sort of closet National Socialist myself, I'll just respond with my usual line -- as a thinking person, I despise racism and bigotry as a rule, but damn, the Nazis had some snappy-looking uniforms.
Anyway, OOOHH WHO'S A CUTE AND FUZZY KITTY WITTY MEOW MEOW??
POW,POW,KA-POW!
Makes him sound like a Batman action scene, doesn't it?
