You know how you can tell who has and who hasn't ever left American soil? When they say something like this.

I hate Hitler, so now i'm a dirty redneck boy?

I've always been amazed at the people calling to ban Mein Kampf overlook things like Dianetics. Hubbard, Cruise, Travola, and Elfman are all friggin' loony maniacs, and the only thing keeping their precious book around is the fact no one has been (verifiably) killed by Scientology. In some ways it is actually the worse of the two books as adherents believe most scientifically proven maladies (even some biggies like AIDS) are all in the sufferer's head and curable through quarantine and solitude.
If you have to join a cult about aliens, good god why did everyone join THAT one? Raelians are lots more sane. I think deep down, everyone is wired to search out power and conflict to some degree, which is why peaceable religions never take off, they're a minority that have over-ridden our innate programming either through force of will or luck of mental deformity. (note that the previous paragraph has been written supposing Hubbard took it seriously. It's entirely possible he could be another Alestair Crowley.)

I have nothing against Mein Kempf, I've read it numerous times. I DO have something against the author of Mein Kempf. Why are you talking about Scientology? Killing 1/3 the population of a certain race in Europe is not the same thing as talking to aliens and insane medical practices.

Also: Stalin killed many more Jews but some of them actually like him. What's up with that? That's a topic for another day (and more knowledgable people than I), but a little food for thought there.

I don't see what this has to do with anything. Stalin killed many more of most ethnic groups then anyone else.
