I noticed that you edited the included text to change "yellow
shirt" to be "brown shirt".  You can check Google Groups to see
my archived posting.  That is a pretty slimy thing to do.  If you
are trying to invoke images of Nazi's through the brown shirt
reference, then you have lost the argument by being the first to
bring up Nazi references in this thread.

If, however, you are saying that it is wrong to protect your
personal property, and doing so makes one an immoral Nazi, then
you are way off base.  Private ownership of property is one of
the fundamental tenants of modern civilization.

So, when you lose the debate, you resort to name calling.  Or
are you suggesting that shoplifting and sneaking into movies
is proper behavior in the modern world?
