This is not the middle ages, and it is my understanding that neither is this a forum for FASCIST thinking (i.e., kill, silence, or mame anyone that opposes you).&nbsp; Suggested reading: Eugene Ionesco&#039;s play, Rhinocerous.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Fascism is commonly confused with Nazism.&nbsp; Nazism is a political party platform that embraces a combination of a military dictatorship, socialism and fascism.&nbsp; It is not a government structure. Fascism is a government structure. The most notable characteristic of a fascist country is the separation and persecution or denial of equality to a specific segment of the population based upon superficial qualities or belief systems.&nbsp; Source: <a href="http://www.couplescompany.com/Features/Politics/Structure3.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.couplescompany.com/Features/Politics/Structure3.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.couplescompany.com/Features/Politics/Structure3.htm</a></i></p><p><i>&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>You and I, and everyone else are entitled to opinion.
