Well put, Ken.
Also . . .
I am guessing that the bakery that baked the birthday cake (the cake with
the swastika) for little Adolf Hitler Campbell did not, like most bakeries
do, place the cake on display awaiting pickup. If I were to stop by the
bakery at Rosauers or Wheatberries (like I do almost every Saturday
morning for my Saturday morning munchies) and saw a pastery/cake with a
swastika prominently displayed, I would NEVER shop there again. But,
that's just me utilizing my freedom of choice.
