"I've given thought to how I'd feel about Talk Like a Nazi Day...
and I think I'd be okay with it. Because it means presenting Nazism as
a ridiculous thing to believe in and be. Something that nobody takes
seriously. And there are still neonazis out there that I'd like to
depower. And if everyone thinks it's nothing people do normally or
seriously, it makes it harder for people to turn to it in reality. So,
you lose new recruits." --
