Hubris

FaStoat,

I think you were refering to my post in which I did complement the UK media on their use of the word Hubris, I had to look it up myself, I must admit, not that smart, just an Average Aeronautical engineer in a boiler suit!

I like your further investigation, you are indeed correct with regard the connection between Hubris and nemesis, the following is a quote I obtained from a Holocaust article;

The Holocaust: Christian and Jewish Responses

ALICE L. ECKARDT

'The man of hubris does not escape nemesis, there is judgment'

Now that my dear Overstress neatly ties in my earlier connection between this current situation and events of the 1940's. They all include 'Men of Hubris'. Judgement is comming at BA.

Thanks FaStoat for the lead and education
