This will be my only comment on this, but the point is, if things
continually get banned and outlawed, then everyone will be an outlaw. It has
already reached that point I think, but it needs to stop. There is no way to
make a "safe" world for everybody through socialistic measures already in
effect through most of the world. Nazi memorabilia by itself has nothing to
do with it.
The internet referred to earlier as still being "The wild, wild west" is a
good thing, and will eventually succumb to the tax masters, and those who
feel it has to be made safe for everybody to use, at the loss of course, to
freedoms for most.
It is why we still can post messages for free,
discussing topics of our interest, such as Olympus cameras.
May the WILD, WILD WEST endure through the internet for as long as possible!
