    Ahhem. In 1941 a man who called himself Rudolf Heß, Hitler's appointed successor, was parachuted above Scotland with a self-proclaimed mission to conclude a separate peace with Great Britain. He was detained by Churchill and held incommunicado until 1946, when he was indicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in Neuremberg. During the proceedings he seemed very absent-minded and claimed to suffer from extensive amnesia. He was detained in Spandau prison in Berlin.

    On August 17, 1987, Heß interrupted his daily walk in the prison garden to enter a shed where he allegedly hung himself with an electrical chord. This official explanation of his death has never been completely accepted, and not just by neo-nazis.

    His British Army doctor during 1972-73, Hugh Thomes, wrote a book in 1979 claiming that the imprisoned man was not Hitler's second-in-command, but a substitute who had been sent to Britain as a spy under cover of the real Heß' peaceful intentions. The real Heß meanwhile, according to Thomas, had been dead for decades, having been killed and dumped at sea on the order of some comrades in the nazi inner-circle weary of his 'treason'.

    I know about Heß. He wasn't crazy though, he was more sane than most Nazis. When he found out what his party was doing, he tried to get away. And I would take anything that the British say about Heß with a pinch of salt. Or maybe, a mine of salt.

    I honestly don't understand people who say "I'm proud to be white" or "I'm proud to be black" as though you're part of a football team or something.

    You're born into whatever race you happen to be. No merit or action on your part has determined it.

    What is there to be proud or ashamed of? Your distinguishing physical attributes?

    Bizarre.

    Obviously, he's speaking in Bartixian, a rare language that developed in the latter part of the second year of EB, the result of the native language mixing with a foreign tongue, brought by a strange (some would say inane) visitor from exotic lands of, to the natives, nigh on nonsensical speech patterns.

    It's just plain stupid to be proud of something you haven't achieved.

    Let's take it a step further; suppose you were non-white and managed to make yourself white and you're -now rightfully- proud of it. That makes you a racist bastard, nothing else.
