I do understand what that was... and as I was saying, we would have burned down the whole country by now... from the number of comparisons I've seen from this... LOL...

It's getting to be like "Godwin's Law" that people had on Usenet...

Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. It was conceived in 1979 and publicly established in 1980 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, over a decade before the World Wide Web was developed and the general public got access to the Internet. It was originally built on the "poor man's ARPANET," employing UUCP as its transport protocol to offer mail and file transfers, as well as announcements through the newly developed news software. The name USENET emphasized its creators' hope that the USENIX organization would take an active role in its operation (Daniel et al., 1980).

Although in one of its early forms Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions, the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.

When Godwin's Law was invoked... the discussion was usually over at that point... LOL...

Godwin stumbled onto a foundational truth and gave it his name.

Sooner or later in a conversation, when people explore the root cause
of some social or political event ( among those who are not atheists )
the discussion starts centering on Evil and it impact on the event.

So the topic turning eventually to the Evil One or one of his agents
e.g. Hitler, is to be expected.

There was a reason for the "space" bar when reading the "News"
on the net in the late seventies and eighties in Bell Labs.

Only for atheists who recoil from any discussion of the Evil One.
