38. This is stupid. What is needed is a world wide ban on Fascism
I could care less about the symbols. As fascism is found in multitudes of places and expressions, world wide opobrium would be better directed to the kinds of political systems where the industrial and political systems combine to form oppressive governments who oppress civil rights, suppress dissent and do not respect the rights of individual citizens. I could care less about a swatika or two being worn at some party.

I used to see frat boys wearing Klu Klux Klan outfits to Frat parties as late as 1976 here in Austin, Texas. I am sure the attitudes did not go away even if the costumes did - PR being what it is these days.
