Please, I really must object strenuously to this use of the word "Nazi". We are working _together_, _co-operatively_, with reason, and kindness, and love. There's just no reason to use such hateful language.
You are an unrepentant Liberal, Jimmy. You can have your Wikipedia. The world is passing you by. Don't you feel sad? You eagerly accepted the reconstruction that was forced on you, and now you are a rootless man without a culture, forced to accept whatever bones Americas minority groups decide to toss you.
I can recommend the 2001 Farnese Sangiovese Daunia; it's fairly decent considering how low it is priced. Maybe you don't have enough culture to enjoy it. Too bad.
If you knew who the Nazis were, you would be much more careful of your behavior. The Nazis, like you, tried to be kindly, paternalistic, and well-meaning... Of course, a few "fringe groups" had to suffer as a result of this, including the cultural group I was part of for most of my life. Reflect on this, if you have a shred of honesty left in your body. I know who the Nazis are, and what they did. Just because they dress up as Liberals and declare their sympathies to be on the left, doesn't change the petty harmfulness of their behavior.
As tempting as it may be to respond to JW's comments, it is impossible to do so without appearing to troll. ;-) Ec-
