"Surely you jest? You wish to compare underwear content & Nazi behavior?

Please save your expensive words. Those who were Nazis & Anti-Semitic
had a common bond which was a single thread --- HATE. Give your
explanations & rationalizations for the 6 million & their survivors.

You are welcome to rationalize Strauss' (or other musician's behavior)
in whatever manner suits you. However, I am _NOT_ swallowing any of it.

Condemnation by association ... ABSOLUTELY!"

First: Mark, I do not understand this last sentence. Please explain
what you mean.

Second: If your response to a posting is to make negative reference to
the writing style (as you have done above), I must question both your
objectivity when speaking about such matters as well as the depth of
your statement.

Third: I lived through the period of the Holocaust and, judging from
your writing style, I suspect that you are too young to have had that
unpleasant experience, one for which you should be very grateful.
Therefore, do not presume that my understanding of this subject is not
equivalent to yours. It may be significantly better.
