    we are already seeing a proliferation of Holocaust deniers. Interestingly
    they use exactly the same techniques used by creationists: quotes out of
    context, historians disagreements about details promoted as disagreement
    that the holocaust happened, etc.

    I strongly recomend everyone on this list read a book called "Why People
    Believe Wierd Things" by Michael Shermer. I'm enjoying it tremendously.
