Try to gauge the speaker.  But get ready to book it the hell outta there, because I think this fella will end up a bit like Hitler, with gobos as the jews, of course.

You're making a lot of assumptions from the fact that he's speaking in public. Sure, Hitler did that, but so did Obama. Are you suggesting that we can assume anyone who speaks in public is Hitlerian?

He could just be giving a speech congratulating them on making this such a fine colony already. Or telling a story. Or reporting a crime. Or organizing a search party.

I agree and that's exactly what we are trying to determine.

Didn't it say that the people were getting rather agitated looking?

Never said that they were nazis, I just used it because there is a large gathering of people listening to a speaker who is getting them worked up.  The most well known example of someone who did that, and did it quite well, was Hitler.

It may not even "working them up". In fact, it is even unlikely. My bet is more along the lines of "uh, guys, there's a problem: [insert here one or more amongst: food shortage, communication problem, political tension, local wildlife related problem, disappearance, they found out gobbos, this week-end concert is canceled...]"

and if "speaker = hitler" for you, you might have a problem.

What, not Jesus? He also got people worked up.
There, two examples from opposite ends of morality.

You have absolutely no idea how much I wish that I could glare at you through the internet.

This assuming that Jesus did, in fact, exist.  Martin Luther King might've been a better example, with no possibility of agitating people.

Pretty sure most people agree that there was a Nazarene named Jesus, son of Joseph, who got crucified after spreading the seeds for Christianity. What people don't agree on is if he was "right."

NO.  We are not turning this into another forum for religious debate, and I admit that I was complicit in starting it.
