In terms of literature about holocaust denial, it would be extremely ironic if these were criminalised considering the whole deal with fascism and book burning.
Holocaust denial is a crime in Germany (among others)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial#GermanyThere are countries where, let's say, female drivers are illegal, so obvious for us paradigms, laws, customs or historical events like Holocaust can be looked at like some sort of local belief.

Playing devils advocate (maybe literally) the idea that Incest is an abomination of sorts surely only old cultural hang ups or religious dogma?
I am not saying that it is healthy or right, but I do not think it is society/goverment's place to criminalise such behaviour and even censor information about it.
That to me, seems exactly the same as criminalising homosexuality.
If you believe Levi-Strauss (he makes a convincing case) the incest taboo is a very rare cultural universal - the thing that changes is what counts as incest. See The Elementary Structures of Kinship for a lengthy, dull expansion of this point

Well - not if all this incest malarky is true.

You haven't really thought this through, have you.
Bumming your family members is a choice. Being attracted to people of the same sex is what you are.
Or this just prejudice coming to the fore...

If I find myself attracted to my first cousin, this is an avoidable misfortune. there are other people I could fall in love with. Often people end up in incestuous relationships due to families splitting up traumatically, or due to cultural isolation. If I find myself attracted to only men, there's not alot I, or anyone else can do about it.
And besides, homosexuality doesn't produce birth defects:
Children born from incest are at huge risk of getting two copies of damaged recessive genes, so it's irresponsible to risk conception of such children.
....breed with someone too closely related there is far more chance that the offspring will get two bad copies of something.
And anyway,
Anal seems to be the answer to any worries. Stay safe, kids.
'zactly. Up The Bum No Babies!

Channel 4 ran a pretty depressing documentary on the state of the seas some years ago. It's a reason I rarely eat tuna (overfishing) and don't eat cod (overfishing) but go for mussels/sea bass.
It's a really tough problem as it's a "tragedy of the commons" issue: Nobody owns the seas, so lots of companies just go in and grab what they can else "others do it". It needs a complete rethink of stock management / cleanups on a global scale unfortunately.
