Good point.  I'm aware the dislike for the swastika is based on
emotionalism 
rather than sound reasoning.  It's been a positive symbol for thousands of

years, yet it only took a few years to degrade that symbol into something 
vile and hateful.

I myself feel a shudder go down my spine whenever I see the swastika. 
However, I'm really trying hard to overcome my emotionalism about this 
symbol.  I'm trying my best to train my mind to put this symbol back into 
its correct context, but it's not easy.  The sunwheel (swastika) version I

can accept is the one that has a cross inside a circle.  I really don't
know 
if I can ever really use the crossed hooked version in my lifetime.  This 
one really takes an Herculean effort in order to accomplish mind over 
emotions.  But, I'm working on it.  ;-)

It's only a symbol.  Symbols have meanings.  Remove the false meaning and 
replace it with the original correct one.  It's not a symbol of hate and 
death, but a life promoting good luck charm!  I have to keep telling
myself 
this over and over and over again.  ;-)
