The Swastika is NOT an evil symbol. It's been used for centuries on the Indian subcontinent as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Hilter canted the swastika 45 degrees which is a big difference from the usage across southern Asia.

Similar symbols have been found in the Australian aborigines and some Native American cultures that pre-date Hitler by centuries.

I can only agree and seek to deride political correctness with some form of humour. This might be good for a smile.

During WW1 the zealots started on the peaceful mining town in Ontario,called Swastika. They were mollified when the town council changed the name to Winston Churchill. Residents and loyal Canadians tore down the new signs at night. Somebody pointed out that the name was incorporated as Swastika in 1907. Hitler was a youth of 17 years of age. The Nazi Party was not in existence.

Case closed.
