4. well if it was more angular it would be a swastika...
which is probably why it is a bit disturbing...technically the swastika had an actual positive meaning...but the Nazi's destroyed the 3000 year old history in a very short period of time...and I feel it has been permanently stained.

"The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck. "

9. Thanks, bh, for trying to enlighten. We know many Hindus
and the swastika is a peaceful sign to them. Depends on where in the world you are.

8. I don't think it looks like a swastika, I think it looks cool.
Just my opinion. Besides, fuck the Nazis, the swastika wasn't even theirs to disgrace anyway.

However...when I stand way back, it does look REALLY misleading.

13. That is in your face fascism, who believes they are really trying
...to hide their intent? Not me. What can two right angle intersecting SS figures possibly have to do with a credit union for a group called CU Science Centers? Do a background search on the board of directors. It may be very revealing.
