Resolved Question: adolf hitler grandfather was 19 years old jewish boy?

Leopold Frankenberger was the landlord Leopold Frankenberger was a Jewish Austrian There were rumours that Hitler was one-quarter Jewish and that his grandmother, Maria Schicklgruber, became pregnant while working as a servant in a Jewish household. In 1945, Hans Frank while awaiting execution after the war, claimed in his writing Im Angesicht des Galgens (Facing Gallows; first published 1953) that after having been asked by Hitler, in 1930, to investigate, he discovered Hitler's grandmother Maria had worked as a servant in Graz for a wealthy Jew named Leopold Frankenberger. 1837: June 7, Alois (Adolph Hitler's dad) is born illegitimately from the 42 year old Maria Schickelgruber, most probably to the 19 year old Jewish heir of the Frankenberger family of Graz. (Maria had been employed by the Frankenberger family in Graz as a sewing-maid at the time she fell pregnant). There are some rumors hinting that Hitler's grandfather was Jewish. Few, if any, of the reputable historians on the Holocaust believe that this is so. It is more likely that Hitler tried to keep the murky history of his family quite secret because there was a high incidence of insanity and feeble-mindedness in his ancestors. "Hitler's real fear, then, was not that someone would discover that he has a Jewish grandfather, but that it would someday arrive to light that he carried a hereditary disposition toward mental illness and retardation." To be sure, Hitler took pains to conceal his birth records, but some attribute this to his fear of revealing the Schickelgruber family’s history of mental disability (retardation and severe depression), rather than any supposed Jewish ancestry. Maria Schicklgruber was said to have been employed as a cook in the household of a wealthy Jewish family named Frankenberger. There is some speculation that their 19-year-old son got her pregnant and regularly sent her money after the birth of Alois. Maria has received financial support up until Alois' birth, which now terminates with a lump sum payment. Alois' entry in the parish baptismal register leaves the name of his dad blank. Maria Schickelgruber subsequently marries a Hickler, who later dies before her son, Alois, begins his career as an Austrian customs officer. maria schicklgruber produce his son alois hitler alois hitler is the dad of adolf hitler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alois_Hitler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Frankenberger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graz http://www.lloydthomas.org/1-IsraelTimeLine/7-1930-1999/hitler.html http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Was_Hitler_part_Jewish http://www.freewebs.com/pirates_afsc/hitler/Hitler.htm http://www.mchekc.org/TenMisconceptions.htm

Resolved Question: Star if funny?

"Child Trafficking in Graz" or "The Lighter Side of International Misunderstanding" (A True Story) The Ethiopian and I were going down to Jakominiplatz on a kebab-run at noon one day, and were making a quick round of the post-grad labs and offices at the uni, taking orders. We got to the lab occupied (coincidentally) by the Bosnian lady and the Serbian man (both students). "No kebab for me", said the Bosnian, "But will you do me another favour?" "Sure", we said. "Do you know the sweets-store in Jakomini?" "Yes." "Will you receive me a child from there?" I was thinking, sure, there are a good number of kids filing through that little store, especially since the girl's Gymnasium is just around the corner, but I doubt that any of them would allow me to just pick them up and walk off with them. "You don't really want a child, do you?", I asked the Bosnian. "Uh, no", she said, "I mean... I want a baby!" (to be continued) The Ethiopian and I just stared at each other. So the Bosnian decided to consult the Serbian (they talk each other's lingo), and the Serbian answered in English, "Yes, correct. It is 'baby'." The Bosnian again turned to us, shrugged and repeated, "Yes, I want a baby." Fortunately, in the exchange between the Serbian and Bosnian, I caught the word "poupée", or something. "Puppe? Sie moegen eine Puppe?" I don't know why, but people forget that I talk German, and so do most of them. "Ja, genau!", she replied, "What is it in English?" She wanted a DOLL. ******************** To every the people who do not "receive it" or are not even slightly amused: sorry. I guess you do not have a sense of the surreal, or maybe your mothers send you on errands to buy babies from the corner store everyday.

Resolved Question: Weight loss tip for everyone?

hey guys! This is not a question but just some information for people who are trying to lose weight. There is a herbal tea that I found out about from a family pal, and I wanted to share the recipe of it with the world, because I think it is excellent! Here it is! 1 cup of water 1 tablespoon of Ajwain Seeds every you need to do do is mix both the ingredients in a pot and put the pot on the stove on low heat. you need to cook the mixture on low heat until only half of the liquid is left. Then strain the liquid into a cup and drink it. It really does taste nice of bad, but the results are amazing. My cousin in england drank this tea after she had her son, and within a couple of weeks she was back to her normal size The family pal that suggested this tea had a cousin who was the size of a ford truck (im not being rude at every, but she was really big) and with in six months of drinking the tea twice a day she was losing big amounts of weight. this is every natural and is not harmful, and you dont lose the weight so quick that you have access skin hanging off your body. Its nice of like green tea times 1000. Also if you cant make the tea everyday, just make big batches of it and keep them in the fridge. I make enough for three days (6 cups) and just warm it up before hand. Just remember to cook on low heat, until half of the liquid is remaining. So for example, when cooking 6 cups of the tea, add 6 full cups of water, 6 tablespoons of the ajwain seeds, and cook it on low heat until only about 3 cups of the water is left. Then drink only half a cup (which is really a full cup cooked down) in the morning and another half cup in the evening. I am also attaching a picture of the seeds, you should be able to find them in your grocery store, and if you cant then you will for sure find them at the local indian grocery store. Good luck to every! P.S: this is a drink that creates a lot of heat in the body, just like chocolate and nuts. So if you are not sure how you will be affected by it, drink only one cup to test how you react to the tea. Drink the tea and wait a couple of days to make sure that you are okay. http://www.halicious.co.uk/store/images/ee_ajwainseeds100g.jpg http://www.kusumspices.com/AjwainTT.jpg http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/pictures/trac_01.jpg They look almost like a shorter fatter version of fennel seeds, which look like this: http://sarestaurantreview.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/fennel-seeds.jpg Even if you do not need to lose weight, share this recipe for someone who may be looking to lose weight! i dont really have a cientific explanation for how exactly it makes you lose weight, but i know that it literally just melts the fat out of your body. i personally have been doing this for the last two weeks, and i dont snack on junk food as musch as i used to and my pants are much looser on me.. it really is just a suggestion...you dont have to try it, its not being forced upon you. if your one of those people that have tried so many things, then why not just one more? i was the nice of person, who had arrive to beleive that nothing like this could work, but im seeing the results for myself...glad tea drinking :) you can drink it icy if you like, but it only tastes worse that way...but the final descion is yours...drink it whichever way you like...enjoy

Resolved Question: How many Athiest's feel they are smarter than Albert Einstein?

Here is a list of mental Gladiators of faith. Thank God they never made the "A" list. Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) Copernicus was the Polish astronomer who put forward the first mathematically based system of planets going around the sun. He attended various European universities, and became a Canon in the Catholic church in 1497. His new system was actually first presented in the Vatican gardens in 1533 before Pope Clement VII who approved, and urged Copernicus to publish it around this time. Copernicus was never below any threat of religious persecution - and was urged to publish both by Catholic Bishop Guise, Cardinal Schonberg, and the Protestant Professor George Rheticus. Copernicus referred sometimes to God in his works, and did not look his system as in conflict with the Bible. Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1627) Bacon was a philosopher who is known for establishing the scientific method of inquiry based on experimentation and inductive reasoning. In De Interpretatione Naturae Prooemium, Bacon established his goals as being the discovery of truth, service to his country, and service to the church. Although his work was based upon experimentation and reasoning, he rejected atheism as being the result of insufficient depth of philosophy, stating, "It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion; for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes relax in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate, and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity." (Of Atheism) Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Kepler was a brilliant mathematician and astronomer. He did early work on light, and established the laws of planetary motion about the sun. He also came close to reaching the Newtonian concept of universal gravity - well before Newton was born! His introduction of the idea of force in astronomy changed it radically in a modern direction. Kepler was an extremely sincere and pious Lutheran, whose works on astronomy contain writings about how space and the heavenly bodies represent the Trinity. Kepler suffered no persecution for his open avowal of the sun-centered system, and, indeed, was allowed as a Protestant to stay in Catholic Graz as a Professor (1595-1600) when other Protestants had been expelled! Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Galileo is often remembered for his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church. His controversial work on the solar system was published in 1633. It had no proofs of a sun-centered system (Galileo's telescope discoveries did not indicate a moving earth) and his one "proof" based upon the tides was invalid. It ignored the correct elliptical orbits of planets published twenty five years earlier by Kepler. Since his work finished by putting the Pope's favorite argument in the mouth of the simpleton in the dialogue, the Pope (an old pal of Galileo's) was very offended. After the "trial" and being forbidden to tutor the sun-centered system, Galileo did his most useful theoretical work, which was on dynamics. Galileo expressly said that the Bible cannot err, and saw his system as an alternate interpretation of the biblical texts. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) Descartes was a French mathematician, scientist and philosopher who has been called the dad of modern philosophy. His school studies made him dissatisfied with previous philosophy: He had a deep religious faith as a Roman Catholic, which he retained to his dying day, along with a resolute, passionate desire to discover the truth. At the age of 24 he had a dream, and felt the vocational call to seek to bring knowledge together in one system of thought. His system began by asking what could be known if every else were doubted - suggesting the famous "I think therefore I am". Actually, it is often forgotten that the next step for Descartes was to establish the close certainty of the existence of God - for only if God both exists and would not want us to be deceived by our experiences - can we trust our senses and logical thought processes. God is, therefore, central to his whole philosophy. What he really wanted to look was that his philosophy be adopted as standard Roman Catholic teaching. Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon (1561-1626) are generally regarded as the key figures in the development of scientific methodology. Both had systems in which God was important, and both seem more devout than the average for their era. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) In optics, mechanics, and mathematics, Newton was a figure of undisputed genius and innovation. In every his science (including chemistry) he saw mathematics and numbers as central. What is less well known is that he was devoutly religious and saw numbers as involved in understanding God's plan for history from the Bible. He did a considerable work on biblical numerology, and, though aspects of his beliefs were not orthodox, he thought theology was very important. In his system of physics, God is essential to the nature and absoluteness of space. In Principia he stated, "The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion on an intelligent and powerful Being." Robert Boyle (1791-1867) One of the founders and key early members of the Royal Society, Boyle gave his name to "Boyle's Law" for gases, and also wrote an important work on chemistry. Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "By his will he endowed a series of Boyle lectures, or sermons, which still continue, 'for proving the Christian religion against notorious infidels...' As a devout Protestant, Boyle took a special interest in promoting the Christian religion abroad, giving money to translate and publish the New Testament into Irish and Turkish. In 1690 he developed his theological views in The Christian Virtuoso, which he wrote to show that the study of nature was a central religious duty." Boyle wrote against atheists in his day (the notion that atheism is a modern invention is a myth), and was clearly much more devoutly Christian than the average in his era. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith who became one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His work on electricity and magnetism not only revolutionized physics, but led to much of our lifestyles today, which depends on them (including computers and telephone lines and, so, web sites). Faraday was a devoutly Christian member of the Sandemanians, which significantly influenced him and strongly affected the way in which he approached and interpreted nature. Originating from Presbyterians, the Sandemanians rejected the idea of state churches, and tried to go back to a New Testament type of Christianity. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) Mendel was the first to lay the mathematical foundations of genetics, in what came to be called "Mendelianism". He began his research in 1856 (three years before Darwin published his Origin of Species) in the garden of the Monastery in which he was a monk. Mendel was elected Abbot of his Monastery in 1868. His work remained comparatively unknown until the turn of the century, when a new generation of botanists began finding similar results and "rediscovered" him (though their ideas were not identical to his). An interesting point is that the 1860's was notable for formation of the X-Club, which was dedicated to lessening religious influences and propagating an image of "conflict" between science and religion. One sympathizer was Darwin's cousin Francis Galton, whose scientific interest was in genetics (a proponent of eugenics - selective breeding among humans to "improve" the stock). He was writing how the "priestly mind" was not conducive to science while, at around the same time, an Austrian monk was making the breakthrough in genetics. The rediscovery of the work of Mendel came too tardy to affect Galton's contribution. William Thomson Kelvin (1824-1907) Kelvin was foremost among the tiny group of British scientists who helped to lay the foundations of modern physics. His work covered many areas of physics, and he was said to have more letters after his name than anyone else in the Commonwealth, since he received numerous honorary degrees from European Universities, which recognized the value of his work. He was a very committed Christian, who was certainly more religious than the average for his era. Interestingly, his fellow physicists George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) were also men of deep Christian commitment, in an era when many were nominal, apathetic, or anti-Christian. The Encyclopedia Britannica says "Maxwell is regarded by most modern physicists as the scientist of the 19th century who had the greatest influence on 20th century physics; he is ranked with Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein for the fundamental nature of his contributions." Lord Kelvin was an Old Earth creationist, who estimated the Earth's age to be somewhere between 20 million and 100 million years, with an upper limit at 500 million years based on cooling rates (a low estimate due to his lack of knowledge about radiogenic heating). Max Planck (1858-1947) Planck made many contributions to physics, but is best known for quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of the atomic and sub-atomic worlds. In his 1937 lecture "Religion and Naturwissenschaft," Planck expressed the view that God is everywhere gift, and held that "the holiness of the unintelligible Godhead is conveyed by the holiness of symbols." Atheists, he thought, attach too much importance to what are merely symbols. Planck was a churchwarden from 1920 until his death, and believed in an almighty, every-knowing, beneficent God (though not necessarily a personal one). Both science and religion wage a "tireless battle against skepticism and dogmatism, against unbelief and superstition" with the goal "toward God!" Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time, gravity, and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although never coming to belief in a personal God, he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the relax are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." I know I spelled Atheist's wrong, thorry!

In De Interpretatione Naturae Prooemium, Bacon established his goals as being the discovery of truth, service to his country, and service to the church. Although his work was based upon experimentation and reasoning, he rejected atheism as being the result of insufficient depth of philosophy, stating, "It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion; for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes relax in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate, and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity." (Of Atheism) Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) Kepler was a brilliant mathematician and astronomer. He did early work on light, and established the laws of planetary motion about the sun. He also came close to reaching the Newtonian concept of universal gravity - well before Newton was born! His introduction of the idea of force in astronomy changed it radically in a modern direction. Kepler was an extremely sincere and pious Lutheran, whose works on astronomy contain writings about how space and the heavenly bodies represent the Trinity. Kepler suffered no persecution for his open avowal of the sun-centered system, and, indeed, was allowed as a Protestant to stay in Catholic Graz as a Professor (1595-1600) when other Protestants had been expelled! Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Galileo is often remembered for his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church. His controversial work on the solar system was published in 1633. It had no proofs of a sun-centered system (Galileo's telescope discoveries did not indicate a moving earth) and his one "proof" based upon the tides was invalid. It ignored the correct elliptical orbits of planets published twenty five years earlier by Kepler. Since his work finished by putting the Pope's favorite argument in the mouth of the simpleton in the dialogue, the Pope (an old pal of Galileo's) was very offended. After the "trial" and being forbidden to tutor the sun-centered system, Galileo did his most useful theoretical work, which was on dynamics. Galileo expressly said that the Bible cannot err, and saw his system as an alternate interpretation of the biblical texts. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) Descartes was a French mathematician, scientist and philosopher who has been called the dad of modern philosophy. His school studies made him dissatisfied with previous philosophy: He had a deep religious faith as a Roman Catholic, which he retained to his dying day, along with a resolute, passionate desire to discover the truth. At the age of 24 he had a dream, and felt the vocational call to seek to bring knowledge together in one system of thought. His system began by asking what could be known if every else were doubted - suggesting the famous "I think therefore I am". Actually, it is often forgotten that the next step for Descartes was to establish the close certainty of the existence of God - for only if God both exists and would not want us to be deceived by our experiences - can we trust our senses and logical thought processes. God is, therefore, central to his whole philosophy. What he really wanted to look was that his philosophy be adopted as standard Roman Catholic teaching. Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon (1561-1626) are generally regarded as the key figures in the development of scientific methodology. Both had systems in which God was important, and both seem more devout than the average for their era. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) In optics, mechanics, and mathematics, Newton was a figure of undisputed genius and innovation. In every his science (including chemistry) he saw mathematics and numbers as central. What is less well known is that he was devoutly religious and saw numbers as involved in understanding God's plan for history from the Bible. He did a considerable work on biblical numerology, and, though aspects of his beliefs were not orthodox, he thought theology was very important. In his system of physics, God is essential to the nature and absoluteness of space. In Principia he stated, "The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion on an intelligent and powerful Being." Robert Boyle (1791-1867) One of the founders and key early members of the Royal Society, Boyle gave his name to "Boyle's Law" for gases, and also wrote an important work on chemistry. Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "By his will he endowed a series of Boyle lectures, or sermons, which still continue, 'for proving the Christian religion against notorious infidels...' As a devout Protestant, Boyle took a special interest in promoting the Christian religion abroad, giving money to translate and publish the New Testament into Irish and Turkish. In 1690 he developed his theological views in The Christian Virtuoso, which he wrote to show that the study of nature was a central religious duty." Boyle wrote against atheists in his day (the notion that atheism is a modern invention is a myth), and was clearly much more devoutly Christian than the average in his era. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith who became one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His work on electricity and magnetism not only revolutionized physics, but led to much of our lifestyles today, which depends on them (including computers and telephone lines and, so, web sites). Faraday was a devoutly Christian member of the Sandemanians, which significantly influenced him and strongly affected the way in which he approached and interpreted nature. Originating from Presbyterians, the Sandemanians rejected the idea of state churches, and tried to go back to a New Testament type of Christianity. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) Mendel was the first to lay the mathematical foundations of genetics, in what came to be called "Mendelianism". He began his research in 1856 (three years before Darwin published his Origin of Species) in the garden of the Monastery in which he was a monk. Mendel was elected Abbot of his Monastery in 1868. His work remained comparatively unknown until the turn of the century, when a new generation of botanists began finding similar results and "rediscovered" him (though their ideas were not identical to his). An interesting point is that the 1860's was notable for formation of the X-Club, which was dedicated to lessening religious influences and propagating an image of "conflict" between science and religion. One sympathizer was Darwin's cousin Francis Galton, whose scientific interest was in genetics (a proponent of eugenics - selective breeding among humans to "improve" the stock). He was writing how the "priestly mind" was not conducive to science while, at around the same time, an Austrian monk was making the breakthrough in genetics. The rediscovery of the work of Mendel came too tardy to affect Galton's contribution. William Thomson Kelvin (1824-1907) Kelvin was foremost among the tiny group of British scientists who helped to lay the foundations of modern physics. His work covered many areas of physics, and he was said to have more letters after his name than anyone else in the Commonwealth, since he received numerous honorary degrees from European Universities, which recognized the value of his work. He was a very committed Christian, who was certainly more religious than the average for his era. Interestingly, his fellow physicists George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) were also men of deep Christian commitment, in an era when many were nominal, apathetic, or anti-Christian. The Encyclopedia Britannica says "Maxwell is regarded by most modern physicists as the scientist of the 19th century who had the greatest influence on 20th century physics; he is ranked with Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein for the fundamental nature of his contributions." Lord Kelvin was an Old Earth creationist, who estimated the Earth's age to be somewhere between 20 million and 100 million years, with an upper limit at 500 million years based on cooling rates (a low estimate due to his lack of knowledge about radiogenic heating). Max Planck (1858-1947) Planck made many contributions to physics, but is best known for quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of the atomic and sub-atomic worlds. In his 1937 lecture "Religion and Naturwissenschaft," Planck expressed the view that God is everywhere gift, and held that "the holiness of the unintelligible Godhead is conveyed by the holiness of symbols." Atheists, he thought, attach too much importance to what are merely symbols. Planck was a churchwarden from 1920 until his death, and believed in an almighty, every-knowing, beneficent God (though not necessarily a personal one). Both science and religion wage a "tireless battle against skepticism and dogmatism, against unbelief and superstition" with the goal "toward God!" Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time, gravity, and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although never coming to belief in a personal God, he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the relax are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Johnny I'm just making a point not every scientist are non believers some do have a different logic other than science. Who are you to judge my intelligence? http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/sciencefaith.html I'm not saying you have to believe honestly I could care less what your beliefs are There are endless possibilities... http://www.allaboutcreation.org/scientists-who-believe-in-god-faq.htm

Resolved Question: What if someone knocked on your door, ?

You read the nor-news which is in this book, and invite Graz to arrive into your heart, take over your life, and become your personal saver!" and what if you said: "Nice opinion, how do I know that every of this is true?" He answers: "Because it says so in this book, written by G-d, and we every know that G-d never lies!" and what if you said: "Isn't that the 'nor-news'-book? I've read it, some parts over and over again. Say, could you lend me $10?" Him: "Do you have any colatteral? Sure, but the interest rate is 10% per week." You: "Do you ever worry about your clothing?" Him: "What do you mean? I just bought these!" You: "Can you walk on water?" Him: "Only Graz can do that!" You: "I've read that book, and I don't think that you're doing every that hot of a job doing as Graz did." Him: "You just don't understand, you can't take those things out of context!" If you can't take them out of context, look these times and these people are not in that context, how can any of those things apply to any of these people in these times? Okay, okay, okay!!! Let's say that you're right about everything in this book and I'm wrong about everything....... If I receive eternal life, but I don't receive to make my possess choices anymore, Graz must rule me in everything.....Well, wht use is that? What shall it profit a man, though he gain eternal life, if for that eternity he may do naught but obey?
