5. How fucking appropriate...

It appears history loves a heapin' dose of irony.

7. My great-grandfather left Germany for the same reason.

German militarism was really bad. Don't blame him for that.

But my great-grandfather did not ask to go back and he certainly didn't get rich here from running whore houses.
