Offenses

My co-worker sent me this article today about a retirement home that when viewed from above, looks like a swastika. A Jewish activist complained, and now they are trying to figure out how to fix the building.

This just bugs me. Really, do you have nothing better to do than go find things that resemble symbols that happened to be used by a widely recognized bad organization and pester them? This symbol is not the sole property of the Nazi party, many world groups and religions have used it. Check out Wikipedia, they have lots of good info.

I would be outraged if this retirement home publicized their building shape, had planned it specifically, and only allowed Aryans to stay there. But really, it is a geometric shape that worked well for the architect. Quit reading stuff into every little detail. Find something more constructive to do with your time than finding bad things where they were not intended.

I like the quote by Abraham Lincoln: "When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will."
