Well, they put people first unless you happen to be a spotted owl or a giant garter snake or some other endangered species and then that seems to have priority.

But others - we just need a little flexibility.

The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communist always will.
