[Am-info] Swastika and Star of David in the same trash bin

[Gene Gaines]

,

Some things quite amaze me.

See article at
   http://abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/ZDM/swastika_font_pcmag_040217.html

So, in one act, Microsoft has "sanitized" it history of the
Nazi and Jewish states.

I'm not sure I would have included both in the same act.

Actually, those two symbols offend if you do not now their
background.  The reverse cross was employed as an important
symbol in several religions long before Hitler.

Hmmm.  If we are going to remove all offensive symbols...

The period "." must be removed.  It has occurred in more
offensive writing than any other symbol I know.

But leave it to the sensitivities of Microsoft.  Throw out
the swastica and Cross of David in the same act.  Hey,
we can't have any offensive symbols, can we?

Last thought.  Perhaps most offensive to me are the use
of the several words ... "Windows" and "Word" when they
are used to denote copyrighted trade names.  Not that is
really offensive.
