Wheel,
I did make a very broad refence when I first objected to Holocaust terms being tossed about. I incorrectly implied that your use of Auschwitz had any reference to Israel at all...what I had in mind was previous threads where terms like "concentration camp" were used to describe Israel's control of Palestinians and other nazi behaviors being used on Israel. I find that to be purposeful "Jew baiting" and I want to let you know that I was incorrect to include your useage in this thread.
In fact, I do understand your feelings on abortion and believe I am on record here as saying that despite being Pro Choice, I could never live with making the decision to abort. I choose life but do not believe in forcing my desires, no matter how benevolent, on other Americans.
Would you not be outraged if someone compared unrelated things by using statements like "after police shot the drug dealers, the apartment looked like the back room of an illegal abortion clinic"? Doesn't that cheapen and demean an issue that you feel so strongly about in your heart? It has nothing to do with abortion, and most of the times here when Holocaust terms are used, they have no connection to the real deal. If something hit close to your family, you'd want those memories respected by your American compatriots.
Also, I can see the top of your head when I stand.
