Kat, I definitely did NOT say that Bruce is "the modern day equivalent 
of Adolph Hitler!"  I said that not standing up for what one believes in 
or knows to be true is what allowed Hitler to come to power!
	I agree that no one should respond to the Chevy ad unless they have 
seen it because that would be going off half cocked.  Also, it is Joanne 
that is urging people to jump in and join her, not me.
	I think you should reread Bruce's post as well as mine because he did 
not say "don't be too quick to take offence if none is meant."  He  said 
that he was going to "reserve less time for 'taking offense' and more 
time for appreciation."
	And, finally, yes, I will admit that I am biased and see nothing wrong 
with being so.  I invite anyone else who has seen the ad and who is 
similarly biased to make their feelings known to whomever they care to.
