Yet another "another" Reich

While we're on the subject of comparative history, many Americans think that
other countries (like the WWII "Axis" countries [not to be confused with the
Axis of Evil]) try to bury knowledge of shameful behavior in their recent
past.  It should be pointed out that probably not one in a thousand
Americans is aware that anything like this ever happened (or could even been
possible) in the USA.  As Sinclair Lewis (and Frank Zappa) put it, "It Can't
Happen Here."  

Who could imagine, that they would freak out... in Washington, DC?
And it can't happen here...

Couldn't agree more!

"In August 1956 </wiki/1956>, several tons of Reich's publications were 
burned </wiki/Book_burning> by the FDA."

Burning books always reveals who is the evil one!

I was really shocked when I read (in the 70s) that Reich had been 
treated that way in the USA.
