When I read this yesterday, a cold shiver went down my spine. Why? Because the Nazis did the exact same thing in the late 1930s, and we all know what they did next, mass genocide of people that doesn't fit in with their ideals. Truly scary.

Yeah, burning books is not the kind of thing you want to be associated with..

The nazis isn't the only ones to have burned books. Communist, etc. the list is long, but never anyone you want to be associated with.

On the flip side, you have to burned an awful lot of books if you want to rid the world of Harry Potter -- let the crazies have their fun

I think there were a few more things that transpired between those two events
