Thanks for the note, Gabz. You know, I've actually read the piece of drivel that is Mein Kampf, and while there's a lot in there about Jews, international bankers, the Treaty of Versailles and Communists, there's remarkably little in there discussing the merits of public smoking bans in bars and restaurants. Maybe you should remember that words have consequences, and comparing relatively trivial political disputes to the crime of the century just seems wrong. Regarding the actual subject of this thread (and not our endless tobacco disputes, which I believe you were trying to reference), I think Obama would be a disastrous president. But just because I think he would be a disaster doesn't mean I think he's in any way reminiscent of Hitler.
I do realize such consequences, which is why I chose my words so carefully. I am sorry you came to the conclusion I made such a comparison, as that was not my intent. I do not and never have equated the 2 issues.
I am in complete agreement with you that MK was drivel and about how disatrous an Obama presidency would be. My reference was not so much to MK, but rather the entire of concept of the "state" control over the individual espoused by the regime, not on any one particular issue.
