I wish you'd post more often. I smile when I see you on GC. Is that gay?

OK - you obviously didn't get my last, succinct, intellectually-dominating post . . . so here it is:

Occam's razor.

Education? EDUCATION? OK - you want to set up an interactive stand to promote learning about how an exceptionally minor symbol to a subset of the Native American population was subversed and made into the WORLD'S LARGEST REPRESENTATIVE SYMBOL FOR HATE.

This symbol played a large role in ONE OF THE LARGEST ACTS OF GENOCIDE EVER (yeah, I know about King Leopold, so I'll qualify it for your poor argumentation).

You want to turn what is essentially an anachronism on the floor of a backwater courthouse into something that will eliminate hate worldwide. Fine, how noble. But how obtuse is this reasoning? Jesus, it's just nonsense, it's idyllic tripe. Sorry, it's just garbage - why not just REMOVE the anachronism? I know that doesn't put you on the white stallion, and that must be disappointing . . . but for the love of everything holy, why would you even consider LEAVING a swastika . . . in a public building . . . to facilitate the possibility of some non sequitur discussion of a culture inherently unrelated to why the symbol is considered offensive?

So . . . Gregory de Ockham says, in short, the simplest solution is most likely the best.

In this case, as in most . . . it is overwhelmingly correct.

Arts and fucking crafts. Wow.
