I checked my archive. That was John Horn who said that, not me. You're referring to your reply to him on 3/5? If you do want my opinion on this subject.... Millions of Buddhist Indians view the swastika as a symbol of life. http://www.indiaprofile.com/religion-culture/swastika.htm So I don't think its use is necessarily _inherently_ antisemitic. But the symbol does represent Naziism to members of western cultures so I do object to its use when the intention is clearly to intimidate Jews, i.e. on a hate site, etc. Jon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
