[kj] Coronado swastika and ss

lol.
  Peter, plenty, but don't forget you can also use a word to invoke a symbol. You think very literally.
  Let's see you chew on this one like a retard. 
  Can I recommened you read up on syntax and semiology etc for a bit first though.

Yes, that maybe true in advertising, but apart from the alphabet what symbols do journalists use?
  If its a photo, then there are always words to accompany the photo . A lone photo cannot convey the message as much as the written word

Symbols are actually more powerful than the written word. E.G. their use in journalism..It's called metonymics. The 'idea' is already mentally mapped.

      "The symbol, as mentioned below, has a great historical use, and so makes perfect sense that there are people who still believes it invokes powers"
   
     You are ignoring one very important point. Anyone who has ever been associated with the swastika has suffered and have gotten their comeuppance. All the Nazis of the second World War , Charles Manson and the Indian restaurant owner . Anyone who has ever been associated with it suffered because of it.
    It's only a shape and  ultimately that's all it is, a shape ,. And its about time intelligent people put all this mystical and magical bollocks where it belongs, in fantasy land. Let Harry Potter deal with magical things and get  living in the real world . Its just a shape and shapes DONT have no magical qualities .
