It's one thing to be getting books on bomb-making, it's another to be getting books on communism. One I can understand the national security visiting, the other is ridiculous. What's next? Tracing down people who read books on anarchism and socialism? Come on.

I do agree, however, that comparing it to naziism would be a stretch. Almost any comparison to nazism is a poor one because of how terrible naziism was.

It does seem like a waste of time to me to "visit" people reading books on communism, but I would be willing to bet they had their reasons. What if they had evidence that alot of terrorists were studying things like Communism and / or getting books on Mussulini or something like that?

I just throwing that out there because there has to be a reason they did this. Maybe this student was middle eastern? Maybe he had other ties to something suspicious? Who knows.

I wasnt even born then. :shock:

How friggin old do you think I am?

On a side note. What the hell is a knoll? Has this word EVER been used in any other context? Ive been there many times. Ive stood on it. Its a friggin hill. No, its not even that big. Its a just a hunk of grass that slants slightly upwards away from the street.

I guess "hunk of grass" just isnt as cool as "grassy knoll".
