That disturbs me to hear. Every movement in history that has destroyed knowledge and burned away the past in order to eradicate what it didn't like, has believed itself to be right, and they've invariably served evil.
Someone - a client - told me in 1996 that he would like to see all the films we have predating 1994 (when democracy came to SA) to be destroyed. We have films dating back to 1898 so I told him to f**k off.
