I am sorry that you don't agree with my opinion or ideas. I would be more open to discussion without the profanity and ad hominem attacks. If anyone would like to discuss the issue, without name calling, ridicule, and emotional pleas, I will be happy to discuss it.

I don't think continued misinformation and lack of knowledge on swastikas, nor the removal of preNazi swastikas is the best way to deal with the situation. It isn't "an exceptionally minor symbol to a subset of the Native American population", please research and realize it is not "exceptionally minor" to many groups of North America and the world. The symbol ceased to be the same once Hitler changed it for his purposes. It will only continue to be associated with hate, if there isn't education on the subject.

As for Arts & Crafts that was a general term to encompass decorative items that fall in that category. Blankets, masks, pottery, jewelry, and such, not for religious or spiritual purposes. If there is a better term, please let me know.
