Apropos of the article, when I was at Idaho Falls for Nuclear Prototype training the local courthouse actually had multiple swastikas in its tile floor. SSG Robert Webster LCDR Rabbah Rona Matlow CMDCM Gene Treants PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

Interesting until you come to the conclusion: "In places like Pointes-des-Cascades, where pre-Nazi swastikas exist, extra care must be taken to contextualize their presence. But in all other instances the symbol really must be shunned."
'But in ALL OTHER instances the symbol must be shunned.' WOW, want to tell that directly to the people that continue to use it in it's original context? (Emphasis is mine.) These ignorant, egotistical individuals need to continue their education; and they say that the rest of us are intolerant.
