Maybe it says > something about the morals of the people who can imagine somebody > seriously proposing this sort of thing... > > Wayne Is the holocaust that far back in history. I'm not trying to tie Hitler's ideas directly into this, but he seriously proposed (and carried out) some quite shocking ideas.

There's some dangerous babysitters. Mike Johnston
