#### line 5: "This reminds me to the holocaust" - access denied.
#### line 6: "Adolf Hitler" is not a valid argument.
#### line 7: "Europe" is not defined.

> I have the hope, peace comes soon. I heard from a german peace plan and
> similar peace plans from other NATO allied governments. According to this

#### line 1: "I have the hope, peace comes soon." - division by zero.
#### line 5: "Free elections [...] must [...]" - syntax error.
#### line 7: "European Union" - spell check: did you mean "NATO"?

> against albanian workers and farmers with the brutality of ethnic cleansing.
> Yugoslav socialism became a deadly threat even to the entire working class.

#### line 1: "marxism" is a system procedure and can't be deleted.
#### line 3: "remember" - permission denied.
#### line 7: "Yugoslav socialism" has expired.

> During the last two decades I joined the peace movement, because I hate the

#### line 1: "I hate the war" - division by zero.
#### line 3: "The times, they are a changing" - unknown exception.

     ======================================
     045  The line it is drawn
     046  The curse it is cast
     047  The slow one now
     048  Will later be fast
     049  As the present now
     050  Will later be past
     051  The order is
     052  Rapidly fadin'.
     053  And the first one now
     054  Will later be last
     055  For the times they are a-changin'
     ======================================

In order to ensure the integrity of our operating systems,
a.s.ambulanzen recommends to take the following measures:

phase 1: immediate deactivation of all holocaust-related
terms for an unlimited period of time

phase 2: instantaneous electronic disturbance actions towards
any .de-server that still supports off-context distribution

phase 3: total foreign language embargo against germany
and complete re-erection of the berlin language barrier

... or saarbruecken/germany, where, this year, and after continued
rhetorical warfare from german conservatives, the very exhibition
on the german army and genocide you are referring to, was bombed
by some neo-fascists, one day before its scheduled opening.
