 Oh, yes, you're right! Wearing a Triskelion OBVIOUSLY makes people think
I'm some sort of Rightist Facist.

 Wake up, Buddy. In the States (which is where I am posting from and where
I am doing this), we don't have any of the little facist neo-nazi types
that appropriate Celtic and Germanic symbology. The Neo-Nazis here use the
Swastika and that is the worst it gets. When I see a person where a
Triskelion, I assume they are either Irish or in the Celtic League (a
celtic culture revival group here in North America) not that they are some
sort of Nazi. Don't think the problems your country is having are the same
as those of mine.

Wassail,
