How can this be!! You know, my family were also Jewish Survivors immigrated from Germany before the 'Holocaust Industry' was a business matter.

I hate you for opening my eyes a little last night! You have made it harder for me to blindly shout my hate speech at those that disagree with my perception of the world - you make me angry that you make it look is so easy to unravel the &quot;concepts that blind&quot; us. It makes me ANGRY to know that I am afraid to look at, listen to, or think about different points of view!
