What has this world come to?! No one ever follows the rules anymore.

Yeah. The least they could do is wear swastikas, like in the good old
days!

Sneaky little so-and-sos.

Yeah but look at Schindler--he wore a swastika and even the Israelis agree
that he was one of the good guys.

Okay, so sometimes it doesn't work. :-)
(Schindler is a figure of awe and admiration to me. The guy spent his
life being a jerk and a sycophant and a lowlife and then -- for one
shining moment -- he rises utterly above himself to do something
astoundingly selfless and noble. I don't pretend to understand him,
but, damn! I am impressed.)

Reminds me of something I saw on the wall of a vegetarian Chinese
restaurant once:

"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
