Re: The Olympic Torch

interesting propoganda piece - the flame ceremony does come from ancient greece - its only the running through the streets bit that the Nazis thought of, an extension of an idea really. They did much the same with the swastika, which was a fairly global peace symbol. I think what ever the Nazi party did can be pretty much ignored - its what it means NOW that is more important. I think the swastika is going to be a hard one to take back though
