For those of you who are older, you may remember the TV show “Hogan’s Heroes.” It was a sitcom set in a World War II prisoner of war camp. Yes, a sitcom. While the Allied prisoners plotted and carried out many anti-Nazi activities, the main German soldier assigned to watch them — Sergeant Schultz — would occasionally stumble onto their activities.
He didn’t want to turn the prisoners in because they had become friends, but he didn’t want to get in trouble with his superiors, especially Colonel Klink.
So, he would mutter, “I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!”
Then he would quickly disappear.
Many people in our society today have taken that same approach.
