      Er hätte ja seine Idee langsam abbrennen können, aber er hatte sie absichtlich wie eine Kartätsche gegen seine Zuhörerschaft abgeschossen, um diesen Panzer einer scheinbaren Indifferenz, die jeden Redner hätte entmutigen können, diesen Panzer aus Phlegma, Schulung, Ermattung, Berechnung und Abwehr auf einen Schlag zu sprengen.
