“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana

However, you’re making comments about the river burning, as if it were possible to do so today. It’s not.

Remembering the holocaust is important, but making references to present day, active concentration camps in Germany is inaccurate at best.

You just want to be small minded and take cheap shots at Cleveland. Heaven knows there’s enough about Cleveland to bash, but being inaccurate just makes you look like a fool.

And I can’t dissuade you, so carry on.

Did you even bother to notice the emoticon at the end of my original quip? That means it was written in good humor.

Sure it is past history. Still, it doesn't alter the fact that Cleveland may have a somewhat unique claim with respect to having a river that actually once supported combustion. That you can not deny.

You could use a sense of humor, and grow some thicker skin. After all it has been 41 years.
