Who was the last person in the US to have ALL their books/materials officially order by the Government, in the form of a Federal Judge, to be "burned" AKA "seized and destroyed"?

Oh. You weren't really wanting to debate the 9/11 thing. Alas.

Ah, meth. I cannot find a mention of it having been invented there. I rather had heard Hitler was a tweaker.

I agree with your idea Bravus. A more sedate question/answer format like in most of our other threads is a more appealing approach. I came out shooting to make my idea for this thread clear.
