It Can't Happen Here
..for any readers back that far, amongst us.

A couple sample quotes from Sinclair Lewis in 1935:

Not answering him at all, Sarason demanded that, in order to bring and hold all elements in the country together by that useful Patriotism which always appears upon threat of an outside attack, the government immediately arrange to be insulted and menaced in a well-planned series of deplorable 'incidents' on the Mexican border, and declare war on Mexico as soon as America showed that it was getting hot and patriotic enough.
... ...

... the slack indolence, the lack of decent pride of half the American youth, whose world (these idealists asserted) was composed of shiftless distaste for work and refusal to learn anything thoroughly, of blatting dance music on the radio, maniac automobiles, slobbering sexuality, the humor and art of comic strips - of a slave psychology which was making of America a land for sterner men to loot.

Now back in 2002: imagine where awareness of 'DRM' might be listed in the consciousness of The Peepul - #4666 ? right after a really Better.. tortilla chip?
