I finally got the chance to watch Sophie Sholl The Final Days

[tech3149]

For those that don't know, this is the story of courageous resistance to the Nazi regime. I thank Ben Burch and those of his caliber for helping me to appreciate their efforts and allowing many to see the similarities between then and now.

For those who have not seen the movie or don't know the history, I urge you to discover the story of these young patriots and find the strength to save our nation before we must pay the price of those patriots. It doesn't matter how you do it, but spread the word any way you can. If you are a people person try and get some political discussion with everyone you meet. If you're a word smith or writer put your thoughts out there as often as possible and to the widest audience. If you do sales and marketing, find viewpoints you believe in and sell them to everyone you meet.

We are approaching very dark times and the only solution requires the effort of all of us.
Many hands make light work, let's help take the load off our neighbor.

2. I saw it recently too.

Very moving. They were indeed heroes. They were, at heart, ordinary young people who believed in what they were doing. They weren't trying to be heroic, in fact Sophie tried to deny the whole thing when first questioned. But she faced death with courage at the end.

Plus, I was surprised at all the German I remembered, after not using it for years.
