Ah yes! Same thing applies across the board in this country or wherever to this day. Tis the promise to a man down under his luck. You can promise him ANYTHING and he will bow-wow-wow to your call. So sad, so true and so prophetic. Take a man down on his luck and promise him the world and turn around anything for him, and as long as he doesn't know the behind the scenes things it took, it doesn't matter. It was so easy to promise down and trodden Germany. They were sunk, experiencing inflation, depression... So they were easy prey. Mankind doesn't care about the "whole", only things that immediately pertain to them. Friggin' gullible to the hilt.
You could do the same thing now to people in America. If they think they are down, even if they truly aren't, give them a promise and screw the next person, they don't care. God it is so scary. Sometimes I hate being a history minor and knowing what I know.
