I guess you have a point, C. Ham. We have one thread about the Performing Rights Gestapo , and another about the Grammar/Spellin' Nazis. I'd agree that stuff like that might tend to trivialize the Holocaust, and I can see how you might consider that deplorable.

On the other hand, I think it's a not such a bad thing to compare some current injustices and prejudices to the same injustice and prejudice that led to the Holocaust. I think it's wrong to speak of the Nazis in hushed tones, sanctifying National Socialism as the Absolute Evil, the worst expression of evil that could ever exist.

Genocide can and does happen in our present "enlightened" age, and modern, civilized people do little to stop it. Evil is alive and well in our world. It didn't start with Adolf Hitler, and it didn't end with his death.
