[GeoStL] Re: Opinions, please...would a swastika be offensive to you, even if it's part of the cache's theme?

I appreciate everyone's opinion on this matter. As I simply would hate to have 
a bunch of drama over a simple geocache, I altered the design I originally had 
just a bit. I took out the swastika and replaced it with a geocaching logo I 
found on Google.

This is the result...I think it still has the flair I was going after, and at 
the same time should not be angsty:

I guess it's like having a cache with a Union or Confederate flag on the cache. 
 It's all a history lesson, good, bad or indifferent. I think people are too 
concerned in being "politically correct" that they fear the consequences of 
being stereotyped as a bad person.  My advice - add a little history lesson to 
the cache page and go for it.  The find logs will speak for themselves.
