As a decendant of Austrian Jews, some of whom died horribly in concentration
camps that "never happened at all" in the hands of some of those "bearers of
traditions and soldiers,"  and have been replaced in the factories by
foreigners who "shit and piss in the streets", I'd suggest that there is
another side to this issue.  Comments like these fill me with deeply-felt
anger, great sadness, and fear. There is an active KKK group in this part of
Pennsylvania that hands out brochures that read almost *exactly* like the
above paragraph. The group has a youth contingent in the local public
schools.  Some things never change.  There are so many things I want to say.
But this is a list about Vanagons and I will hold my tongue.  I just
couldn't let something like this go without saying anything at all.
