Re-touching history?

[Crossroads]

When my grandfather died, about 20 years ago, I received an old pocket watch and chain. The chain contained a charm at the end of it that reads on one side "Good luck to the Bearer." On the other side is a number of mystic symbols, to include a swastika.

I show it to people and many are "shocked" - I then explain the watch is over 100 years old and this was well before the age of National Socialism. It just shows that people often hold historical events in judgement based on their current ideologies of what is right and what is wrong.

I wonder that if they find a cure for cancer, making it relatively safe to smoke, will Churchill get his cigar back?

Your grand old man was not a hockey fan, was he? I bumped into this while doing mindless surfing at work (shhh don't tell anyone)
