The original post was about symbols wasn't it?

Well, my tuppence worth is this: The swastika was used by Hitler for his time in power, but prior to that and during and after and even today, it is a sacred symbol for followers of Hinduism and Jainism.

The latter of which is SO obsessed with non-violence,that the extreme practice of includes sweeping the ground before you walk on it, so you don't advertently kill any insects and wearing a mask so you don't accidentally kill tiny living beings by breathing them in!

My point is that a symbol does NOT tell you enough about someone to decide that he or she is a this or that!
