As I read the list of banned books, on thought repeatedly comes to mind: get a life people!
Okay, I understand, you wouldn't want a six-year-old reading just anything, but other accusations are really out there, like Winnie-the-Pooh. Winnie-the-Pooh? What is so mentally corrupting to the point of affecting children forever about Winnie-the-Pooh?
'The Lord of the Rings' is banned because it is supposedly Satanic. If you think that 'The Lord of the Rings' is supporting Satan-worship, you missed the point.
The best accusations are those on foul language. These self righteous people obviously haven't heard a conversation between average teenagers in the past 50 years.
If a book is blatantly advocating violence, go ahead, ban it. Otherwise, stop trying to be the thought police.
Eric you are SO right! Also, your witty wording just makes this post so much better!
