Jerry, That's clearly true. But it doesn't mean we're the one's who are
mistaken.

Now you have an ally and we'll try together for three or more years till we
finally get someone else to agree with us.

It certainly is a "better way to consider", but, of course, Hitler didn't
really care about "harming none", of course his first task was to utterly
dehumanize those who he intended to harm. He succeeded. But as I continually
have said since about 1945 when I first visited a Concentration Camp, all
the Germans, who were Hitler's contemporaries, are almost equally guilty.
Some for active collaboration but most for passive acquiesence. "An it harm
none" is one of the twomost important things Aleister Crowley ever taught,
it's a shame it gets ignored all too frequently while his nonsense doesn't.
