THE NAMELESS ONES

In my reckoning, there is no larger transgression on the dignity of human beings than that of the glorification and remembrance of the greatest evildoers in history. In my opinion, evildoers should be erased from existence, keep their evil deeds as object lessons, but forget the person.
Take _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for example. Who, though seemingly quiet and normal, liked to kill people and freeze their body parts for later consumption. The media followed the story all the way to his grizzly execution. Now his name is practically a household word when the subject of cannibalism is broached. There are even jokes told with his name in them.
What about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _? He brainwashed young people into murdering others in the late sixties. How many times do we have to hear about him on television while he rots in jail? He was even interviewed on Barbara Walters, I think. Is that really necessary?
What about even the worst of them all, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _? I would never suggest that we forget The Holocaust, but do we have to remember his name? Is society served by having his books in print? Is it necessary to remember when his birthday is so that future young, crazy, jack-asses can honor it by shooting their classmates?
It is sad that so few of us can even remember the name of one of their victims. Why should the evil be remembered while the innocent are forgotten?
That should be our greatest punishment. Screw the death penalty, take away the identity. Take away their names. Call them nothing for the rest of their lives and ban the uttering or printing of their name forever. There is nothing that potential evildoers like more than a figurehead for their evil cause. Deny them that and many of them have no impetus to do evil.
