I don't even have the words for how I feel about this. Anyone who knows me knows I hesitate to cry the sky is falling, but we are in serious trouble.
Nazis and certain historical events of World War II are key themes in some of my fiction writing. For years and years I've been putting off buying a copy of Mein Kampf.

You know what? After reading this article I am seriously scared to buy it now. If Chairman Mao is on the watch list, then it's a safe bet Der Führer is as well. I guess I should have followed my gut and bought it years ago.
::EDIT:: To be fair, I've heard things for years before 9/11 that the government keeps track of certain media when people purchase it, but this is the most direct, prompt, and immediate action based upon it I'm aware of in my lifetime.
