An absolute truth super Mo, symbols should be kept symbolic, otherwise they become shambolic, and in turn chaotic, what a wonderful equation you give us, cheers David

You a weirdo I don’t think so, I totally get what you say, but over here today (the twelfth) they burn the Irish tricolour on bonfires in Northern Ireland, not seeking change, but to keep the status quo of partition and hatred alive, all pretty sad, cheers David

Thank you David. I may be weirdo, but insisting that those who disrespect a symbol as a method of protest are “haters” instead of recognizing their desire for change in peaceful protest, is fulfilling someone in power’s agenda. Again, weirdo ;), xomo!

A Papal Bull authorised the killing of all Native Americans wearing or marking a cross; how dare heathens use a Catholic Holy Symbol - especially before the Catholics did? Humanity must continue correcting God's mistakes!

The "Swastika" is/was an holy symbol to Native Americans as well as India Indians ......Aloha! Rico

My grandma, saving history, whiting out a swastika stitched on a cushion in a family pic from 1905, trying to tell her that pre-Hitler it was just another cross…

Indeed, so many…. and “mine is more important than yours”. We are a very funny species. I think that when a symbol becomes more sacred than the lives of people, the symbol is being used to control people. Apparently I’m a woke weirdo ;), love & hugs! xomo
