Bonhoeffer--'wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver."
this is an image from HereSince1628 in another thread

"Here is the deal, George. Let me put this in language to which you'll relate.
If a driver is tested and found to be mentally incapable of driving after a wreck, you do not fill his tank with gas, give him the keys, and help him get the car back on the road.
It isn't about blaming the driver, it's about the safety of everyone else on the road.

George, your administration is unsafe at any speed!"

****

we must be like Dietrich Bonhoeffer

http://www.uctonline.org/newpage6.htm

"If I see a madman driving a car into a group of innocent bystanders, then I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe and then comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver."


"If your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi and non-violence. But if your enemy has no conscience like Hitler, then follow Bonhoeffer"--Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
