I was inclined to think that the graphic symbol was just for aesthetic reasons and not as a symbol of oppression... however one can easily understand if someone were to think the latter. Happy building/riding.

This is not the case.It's an old buzzard with a war helmet on...maybe he took it from a dead nazi??These symbols have many uses and meanings in different cultures.Here are a few: <br /> Archaeological record <br /> Historical use in the East <br /> Hinduism <br /> Buddhism <br /> Jainism <br /> Other Asian traditions <br /> Historical use in the West <br /> Classical Antiquity <br /> Pre-Christian Europe and folk culture <br /> Baltic <br /> Celtic <br /> Finnish Germanic <br /> Sami <br /> Slavic <br /> Medieval and Early Modern Europe <br /> Native American traditions <br /> Western use in the early 20th century <br /> <br /> Post-WWII stigmatization in Western countries <br /> European Union <br /> <br /> Finland <br /> Hungary <br /> Poland <br /> Iceland <br /> Ireland <br /> Brazil <br /> United States <br /> Satirical use <br /> Controversy over Asian products <br /> Contemporary use in Asia <br /> Mongolia <br /> Japan <br /> Indian Subcontinent <br /> Taiwan <br /> Tajikistan New religious movements <br /> Theosophical Society <br /> Raëlian Movement <br /> Ananda Marga <br /> Falun Gong <br /> Neopaganism <br /> Thank you for your concerns.I hope I did not offend you.Mike Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03661757650664163320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918542001919759667.post-79477598419424658172009-12-02T10:09:39.455-08:002009-12-02T10:09:39.455-08:00I am curious as to why you have the German Nazi &q...I am curious as to why you have the German Nazi "SS" symbol on the buzzard's helmet, and on other images related to your blog?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664414453416564411noreply@blogger.com
