Yeah. The least they could do is wear swastikas, like in the good old
days!
Sneaky little so-and-sos.

It was tough to grow up and find out that those rules never did apply. It
was always so easy when everything was B&W; I never had to actually weigh
and consider and decide on my own.

Yeah but look at Schindler--he wore a swastika and even the Israelis agree
that he was one of the good guys.

Okay, so sometimes it doesn't work. :-)
(Schindler is a figure of awe and admiration to me. The guy spent his
life being a jerk and a sycophant and a lowlife and then -- for one
shining moment -- he rises utterly above himself to do something
astoundingly selfless and noble. I don't pretend to understand him,
but, damn! I am impressed.)
Reminds me of something I saw on the wall of a vegetarian Chinese
restaurant once:
"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
