Denton and Catmaster,
Aside from the freedom of speech aspect. My father, and many like
him, treasure his Nazi memorabilia. To him they represent ties to a
time when many brave and not-brave people made sacrifices and even gave
their lives for the betterment of people that they didn't even know, or
in many cases know of. These "mementos" can be offensive to some yet
also represent a time of great giving and even heroism by many others.
I ask those of you who are so offended, to broaden your views a little
to allow others the same liberties you exercise so readily.
There are pages before and after the page you're on, you must read
them all to get the entire story.

Well put. We do have to be tolerant to avoid the sort of horrors
that have happened in the last century. But we can be tolerant of
others' intolerance as well - no?
For instance, I don't want to discuss the 5 different models of
50/1.8, nor do I want to read another post about a certain Democrat
President, but do I have the right to whinge on such a multi-faceted
and talented List?
;-)
