So when you repeatedly ask, Why? Why? Why? does the SS concern themselves with gassing people? B/c it is trained procedure. If you don't like the answer to this question, fine. Argue all you want, the answer is not going to change. Please change the subject!"

Please read some history, Kelly of the TSA, before you are doomed to repeat it. And changing the subject is like sticking your head in the sand, it does not make the problem go away. Except in your world of government burro-crats, where sticking your head into your supervisors posterior gains you rapid promotions.
If you want to back yourself up from Godwin's Law a little bit more, call it the Oliver North Defense.
