Happy Birthday Kurt Vonnegut (Nov 11, 1922 – Apr 11, 2007).

Some insightful words from one of the greatest writers and thinkers of our time -

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous ... No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters."

If any German needed an argument for voting in the coming general election, look at this fact:

In the US, Trump won with the support of just 75 million votes in a country with 335 million citizens. In other words, just 22 percent of the US citizens decided to drive the country off a cliff, and everyone else is now going down with them.

Wer nicht wählt, ist Mitläufer.

Girls, if a boy says to you, "Your body, my choice." They've implicitly given you permission to kick them in the balls.

Or as my husband said, "My knee, your nuts."

In short, you are allowed to defend yourself from a rape threat, which is what that first statement is.
