We REALLY need to reintroduce the Roman custom of Damnatio Memoriae—"damnation of memory", excision of a name and person from the written record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae

@cstross disagree. The record must accurately reflect events, good and bad. Removing facts amounts to censorship.

Agreed. It's nice to think no one will remember the bad people/things, but that's just allowing history to repeat.
