Dear pr. Shand, it may be you have a point here, I got to think about it in
connection with political views that are very popular among communitarian views
(some are religiously attached, some are more traditionalist views.)
It is a strong pull in any case (consider the reactions of many societies to
stress and fear (they generate the view that in order to be in order with
feeling safe on airplanes people are very prone to accept and endorse any form
of inegalitarian treatment [people with brown skin, or females with veils
harassed to no end, etc.)

Subject: [PHILOS-L] query on Goethe/ done
"es liegt nun einmal in meiner Natur, ich will lieber eine Ungerechtigkeit
begehen als Unordnung ertragen."
(Akademie Ausgabe 12, 456: "Die Belagerung von Mainz")
Dear Omar, short answer is no, the author was J W Goethe & the quote is even
stronger tan what I recalled, namely that his
--Goethe’s- nature is such that he’d rather commit injustices than suffer
disorder..
In AK it is in volum 12 – I was provided the quote by two distinct people
hereby thanked for their courtesy
