U-2012>This may be the "Reichstag Fire Enabling Act" of 2009

Ummmm..., that's getting to be a quite overused analogy, I would say. If the number of times it has been used were actually happening, we would have already burned down the entire country by now... LOL..

For your understanding see :
The Reichstag Fire and the Enabling Act of March 23, 1933

Hitler was able to push through the Enabling Act (officially, “Law for Removing the Distress of the People and the Reich”) on March 23. With 441 votes for and 84 against (the Social Democrats) the act officially recognized Hitler as Germany’s dictator and abolished democracy.

I do understand what that was... and as I was saying, we would have burned down the whole country by now... from the number of comparisons I've seen from this... LOL...

It's getting to be like "Godwin's Law" that people had on Usenet...

Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. It was conceived in 1979 and publicly established in 1980 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, over a decade before the World Wide Web was developed and the general public got access to the Internet. It was originally built on the "poor man's ARPANET," employing UUCP as its transport protocol to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software. The name USENET emphasized its creators' hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation (Daniel et al., 1980).

Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions, the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.

When Godwin's Law was invoked... the discussion was usually over at that point... LOL...
