RE: Celebrate

[Robert Krawiec <robk64@yahoo.com>]

Bob,

If you don't intent to reply to any further comments, why pollute this list with a bunch of ignorant, inflammatory remarks about "communism", "socialism" and the ultimate in provocative rhetoric, Adolph Hitler? A number of my family perished at the hands of Nazi Germany and my father was in Dachau when the the US Army liberated that hell-hole, and I find your comments incredibly offensive and utterly inappropriate.

You talk about your children...I don't have any, so given your objection to "sharing the wealth", will you be willing to reimburse me for all the tax breaks you got at my expense? Or perhaps you'll be reimbursing your childless neighbors for their subsidizing of your children's education?

Unlike yourself, I'm happy to debate, but perhaps this should go off-list.

Rob
