Thanks for not thinking I'm crazy. :) Though, what is sane really? When people attach to much to this idea of "sane " or "normal" I think that can be a problem in and of itself because who knows what sane and normal truly are? Who is to say? I imagine if there was some kind of authority on the subject that many would disagree! Heh. :)

I agree though, they do open state many of their intentions. I think some you have to infer or read between the lines, but they are open about a lot of it.

Sorry to hear about your friends and family, and yes... I feel similar in regard to how they have stolen much from my friends and family and it really bothers me. Though, I am grateful we've had as much as we have had and hopefully in time things can improve more.

I wish you luck in your desires to leave Germany. I don't know all the details in regard to all of that and I don't really know you either, but... I hope you are able to do that one day and that it works out for you. :) Also... Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts!
