Subdeacon Joe Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I prefer that original version. It's clear and reads well. I do like that it led to one of my favorite pro-civil rights decisions: The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections." : Robert H. Jackson, US Supreme Court Justice West Virginia State Board of Education v.

Sedalia Dave Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Yep that paper hanging a-hole took a symbol that existed for thousands of years before he was a twinkle in his father's eye and corrupted its meaning forever. Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 There were a lot of swastikas in SE Asia, a holy symbol for at least two cultures over several hundred years. Quote

Depending on the source, the earliest known use of it is somewhere between 12,000 and 20,000 years ago. My own personal opinion is that it is as old a man. 1 Quote
