We don't get many letters like yours and to be compared to something as evil as the Nazi empire is really shocking. I can only respond by saying that if you will take some time to study our political philosophy you will discover that we are freedom and peace loving people trying to promote democracy at home and abroad. Sure we have a troubled foriegn policy and a trend toward big government, but that hardly makes us war mongers or facists. Here's hoping that you'll come to understand us. Yours for freedom, RR ************* Except for the explicit reference to the Nazi party, this sounds very like the things Hitler ACTUALLY said! The "letter" was supposed to show how silly the question was about why Reagan rallies look like Hitler rallies. I thought it was a silly question, too, but that letter got me to be thinking again .... -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
