Thank you for that information. I'm interested in how this is unfolding in other parts of the world.

It appears to be a worldwide phenomenon. Moving Man's photo and comment about the permanence of the street hand sanitizers made a click for me.

The key thing to understand about the fascists 90 years ago was their obsession with cleanliness, whether it be cultural, social or genetic. It was not that they feared "undesirables" as Hollywood would have us believe, rather they were disgusted by them, seeing them as dirty and unclean.

Does any of this start to sound familiar?
