Godwin�s Law states that a discussion _not about Hitler or the Nazis_ deteriorates when someone brings Hitler or the Nazis to that discussion. It�s perfectly possible to discuss Hitler and the Nazis as long as everybody agrees that they are evil :-) And now for something completely different... IMHO, the next few years will apply a corollary to Godwin�s Law, with Bin Laden and the Talibans in the place of Hitler and the Nazis... A > The TV shows too much cleavage!
