RE: vote against Hitler TIME magazine is having an election, via the Internet, in order to find the "person of the century". Amazingly, today (right now) Hitler is number 3. I don't know how you feel about it, but I don't want to see Hitler's Face on the cover of this year's December edition of TIME magazine. I don't think that someone who is directly responsible for the death of millions and someone who taught hatred in such an unbelievable way should be called the "person of the century".
For whatever influence Hitler have have had on the 20th century, it seems a shame to give what could be considered an honor to this man. There are so many people to vote for that have evoked positive change on the 20th century. Please take a moment to visit the web site listed below and vote for just about anyone else.
If you look up the top 100 on the web site, (by clicking "submit", before you actually vote), it will show you the number of votes accumulated for each person (again, Hitler is in 3rd place right now). New Nazi groups from all over the world will call their members to vote for Hitler via e-mail; I want to do the same, but the other way around. It is up to you if you want to follow our call for voting against Hitler and it is also up to you if you want to spread this e-mail or not. It won't cost you anything, and takes just a little time to do.
Please vote against Hitler under: http://cgi.pathfinder.com/time/time100/poc/century.html and please forward this to everyone on your e-mail list
