has an effect that is the point of this thread. Voldemort did and 
does sanction the destruction of Muggle-Blood Wizarding World.  I 
never said that it was the same as saying the Holocaust never 
happened, nor do I personally say that.  The Holocaust was the 
absolute worst, the most evil thing done by humans.  Unfortunately, 
there are far too many competitors for this title, but the Holocaust 
wins hands down.  Please do not put words in my mouth.

I'm afraid that on this we must continue to agree to disagree.

it's too dull.  What about "Democrats for Pettigrew" or "Pettigrew 
lost a finger... where's his purple heart?"  Obviously, Peter is a 
Brit so wouldn't have earned one, but you get the point.  I'm sure 
once you work on it some more it will be funny.    I would be 
interested in reading it, so please keep me posted.

I like the purple heart bumpersticker; that is good.  If I come up 
witha good one I reply.

No, when I was reading the episodes in GoF, it reminded me of those 
condescending busybodies who keep trying to "help" those less 
fortunate creatures than themselves, while the creatures in question 
feel that they don't particularly need any help. Kathie Lee was 
actively doing wrong.  The sin here is that of pride, like that of 
the Pharisee praying in the Temple how good he was and all the good 
he had done.  I do not accuse hermione pf this, but these people see 
thoe objcts of their campigns more as causes than as real persons.  
Does this help to clarify things at all?
