Terry PratchettDo you think it's possible for an entire nation to be insane?
About This Quote
The word "insane" is often applied to people or groups, but it also can be used for an entire nation. If a nation is truly insane, it's hard to think such a thing as happening. But, as we can see from history, some nations do become completely insane. This saying is most likely talking about the Nazi Germany and their leader Adolf Hitler. Hitler had his own view of how things should be run and he was able to turn Germany into a completely insane nation that was willing to do anything and kill anyone who went against his rules and regulations.
