AW: Microsoft Word is obviously bringing hidden anti Jewish hate-messages onto our desktops

[Hape Etzold]

Dear Agneta, until now I understood NYC is a very common abbreviation for
Ney York City. I don´t know why Microsoft translates NYC into hateful sign
language when word-users chnage it into the font wingdings. May be
coincidence. But why should NYC have a meaning in MS sign language, whereas
other abbreviations do not have a meaning? I understand that Microsofts
Flight Simulator 2000 makes it possible to attack the WTC on the desktop.
Words and ideas can translate into deeds. I hope the attacks will make us
more intolerant of hateful language and violent pictures produced by
politicians, Hollywood, within myself ... Often I don´t care about what´s
going on around me, I tell myself the Police shall do its job, I cannot make
a difference or ... Some time ago I witnessed how a guy got beaten up in the
underground at Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. I was afraid getting
beaten up myself, stood by and called the police. Suddenly an old man
stepped ahead and shouted at them to stop the beating. And they stopped.
They ran away. I am sure everybody can make a difference, if I get out of my
personal comfort zone. I understand Open Space as a contribution to personal
empowerment and empowerment of a somewhat sleepy society - Hape

Yes, it is the same in my version. Do you meen that NYC shold be New York
City? I´m not familiar with that, as a perhaps ignorant swede.
