the Swastika only took on a negative view after the nazi's used it as there symbol. Its true meaning has to do with the circle of life. If you look at some european countrys, there is still a swastika in the flag. There is a royal flag that has a rounded swastika behind the royal crown. I cannot remember which country it is, but I know it is in the north eastern part of europe

Not only Europe, I was recently at the Museum of the American Indian in lower Manhattan and there's a basket on display from one of the Pacific Northwest tribes that's adorned with swastikas. I've also seen this on a basket (Paiute?) in a museum in Reno.

$600,000. is cheap. They'll pay more for that fighting the publicity of morons. But I'm trying to think, that in this day and age, what can they change for only $600K?

Maybe some genius is just gonna paint some big smileys on the roofs
They might as well tear the building down and build a new one without threat of lead paint and asbestos, outdated electric and telephone wiring, outdated...etc.

It's a universal symbol. It has been found on most every continent. The name "swastika" isn't from Europe, but rather from India. It's from Sanskrit and is derived from a word meaning, I believe, "well-being".
