We want freedom but we also like order and structure. How much freedom and liberty are we willing to give up to enjoy order and structure? Because of this ambiguity, we both fear and welcome the conqueror. So in with the old and mixed with the new!

Tension between the two combat veterans reaches a peak during an imaginary march into the killing fields of war. The veterans share traumatizing memories and together “climb from the trenches,” forming a bond.
But seeds of conflict that will upend the lives of all at the soiree have been sown. A confrontation of great emotional intensity culminates in a fiery battle between decency and evil. It is a battle that foretells what is soon to come for Germany and the world." And our historical treatise of darker times from James Isaiah Gabbe (pronounced as GABE) continues this week on the Sonic Society!
