The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America by David Hajdu

3.0

Summary: Comic books were really cool and kids loved them. Adults, deciding that kids shouldn't love things or enjoy themselves in America proclaimed that comic books were evil. They then had a lot of comic book burnings while proclaiming "just because we burn books doesn't make us like the commies or Nazis." Then the politicians try to go all McCarthy on the comic book guys before McCarthy goes McCarthy on anyone. Anyway, a lot of good people lose their jobs because in America we punish people by taking away their means of making a living so they can no longer feed their families and contribute to society.

Feeling disgusted with my country right now.

Read this if you think things are worse now than they were in the past to set yourself straight.

End Rant.
