No ...

I'm not that unreasonable. Almost ... but not quite.

In a museum or as a grave marker it's understandable, even necessary (I remember being at the D-Day museum inside a German pill box looking down the business end of the Allied invasion, and a swastika was draped somewhere near by if I remember correctly). It's when the sickle & hammer get transfered to a yuppies $29 tee (oh what irony for the oblivious bourgeois) or is perverted into a professors defense of a memorial bust - that's when it enters into a different, if not flat out offensive, connotation.

So it seems we are of the same mind here.

I say let that professor & the museum's president go on tour with the bust ... in Poland. See how they feel about the need for "Uncle Joe's" image then.
