I wonder if this would qualify as an example of Goodwin's law:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law or
http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/godwin.

Maybe it's time to move on to more germane and less distracting
discussions.

To those who may not remember, Herr Goebbels said he learned this from
the 
Americans.  Perhaps, it was from our politicians, who say one thing
before 
they are elected and do something else when elected.  Those who believe
that 
the Second Amendment does not allow the general population to have guns,

should remember what Herr Hitler had said:  "Now that we have taken all
the 
guns from the people, our country should be much safer" .  The Supreme
Court 
has ruled we can have guns to protect ourselves, however we still have
four 
Justices that believe otherwise.
We here in the northeast are experiencing hot weather, but with 'air 
conditioning' it's bearable.  What will happen when they close down all
the 
coal fired and  nuclear plants?  This is what the 'Cap and Tax, oops
Trade 
Bill will do.
