Swastika is an ancient religious symbol - not just a Hindu one as in the article either. Hell, it's the name of a town up here in Northern Ontario. Google it! Isn't is about time to soften up on this PC crap and take a threat away from a lot of skinheads at the same time?

Not much there now ... houses, a few old headframes, a railroad junction, a couple of bars and I'm not sure if the gas station's even there now. Attitude kept the name though. It was Swastika long before Hitler bastardized the word.

Well.... "Rachel Hatton" Bought the bag and "discovered" there were swastikas on it. Sounds fishy to me. The Swastikas would have been hard to miss don't you think?....:roll:

Think about this:

You have developed the "perfect toy". It's a toy every kid will love. It makes funny noises, talks, goos, gurgles, walks and talks on it's own............It's furry, yet firm. Has a big smile, and one big, friendly eye. Kids love it. It predates Barbie and Ken by years, and has signs of making you a multi millionaire. It's also in the shape of a swastika.

And just as it's about to be distributed to stores across North America and Europe, the Nazis come to power, and march into Poland.

:wave:..........That's you, waving bye bye to fame and fortune.......:dontknow:
