When someone actually quotes (ore so closely paraphrases) Nazi dogma, it's perfectly acceptable to note the similarity. I loathe those who immediately and automatically demonize any and all who diagree with them, but when someone justifies illegal activities on the basis of the fact that the desired result was (to them) desireable, it's acceptable -- almost mandatory -- to point out the parallel. ========================================= Cullen Performance Hall web page: http://www.cph.uh.edu/cph/cullenhp.htm.
