You are bound to get some hate mail for the above, and I hope I
understood what you meant, not what you said.  Perhaps a wording like,
"If any good could come of such a horrendous event, it is a lesson
to future generations....".
No way could the holocaust be deemed "a good thing that it happened" by
any stretch of the imagination.

You got my curiosity up Todd.  Is that supposed to be some kind of
incantation to invoke evil spirits or something?  Why would it be
different than chanting, "Tom Collins" or "Screwdriver"?
Since demonology and devil worship is a very definite concern for the
law enforcement community.  It isn't so far off topic.

assistant: who

Christopher, you do tend to speak for others....
Charles has included you and me in his accusations of a conspiracy to
get him kicked off AAC2. You, in your assertion above, are just as
incorrect as he is.
I couldn't care less what Charles is, and to a great extent he is
right, his position is irrelevant to most discussions.  Its when he
makes what some perceive as extraordinary claims, particularly in his
_interpretations_ of certain laws, his adamant stance on his opinions,
and the insulting manner that he confronts those that disagree with him
that we begin to require substantiation.  Since most of us are NOT
actively involved in law enforcement and have no basis for forming a
conclusion, his position in the LE community would go a long way in
establishing that credibility.
Please let me speak for myself in the "Charles" debate.

Write your reply.

assistant: I am positive that many television shows give people ideas about committing
crimes. Some of the shows go into pretty good detail about methods and how
not to get caught. I've seen shows that exposed fairly good tactics to defeat
alarms and a myriad of other subjects that relate to crime. Most criminals
are dumb as rocks and have to get their education somewhere. <g> Television
fulfills this need in many areas.
Other media provides methods of constructing bombs, how to set up a meth lab,
and just about anything you can think of. I'm fully aware of the negative
side of censorship, but we pay a tremendous price for this freedom. Terrorist
tactics, credit card fraud, and hundreds of other crime topics are easily
accessible and very popular from numerous sources. Many have proven that
crime does pay because of the failures of our criminal justice system, and
the price of our failure continues to rise. This topic is at least worthy of
discussion and debate.

assistant: I can't remember all the lyrics but "Teen Angel" was
about a guy that was sad because his girl had died.  In
the few songs that I can remember the lyrics to that
had anything to do with death, it was pointed out that
death was a bad thing.
The only one today that I can think of is a country
song about a guy who is bringing flowers to his wife
and telling her how she helped him get his life
straightened out.  At the end of the song you find out
that he is bringing the flowers to her grave and she
died in a car wreck where he was DWI.
The first time I heard it I thought it could be used to
make a point in a driver's ed class.

assistant: Probably his public school history teacher.  In all the
history classes I had (what I can remember of them) we
ended the school year as the end of WWII.  IOW, we
didn't start studying the period from 1933 to 1945
until school was almost over.  We all know that nobody
is very interested in learning, or teaching, then; they
just want to get their freedom for three months.
I always though it was rather stupid to not teach and
have us learn about the things that happened in the
50's and 60's.  Those things had and were going to have
more effect on our lives then anything else.  Look at
most of the people now, all they know about the things
that shaped the baby boomer's lives is what they have
seen on TV.
