Just a friendly reminder where I got my "Orwellian" comment from:



"So why keep around these books, who's words and chapters encourage and bolster fanaticism, nationalism, and xenophobia? Why continue to attach belief to a contradictory jumble of texts written by pissed-off desert nomads? Why keep around books that demand their readers abandon their reason and blindly submit their lives to a grand authority figure?"

Look familiar? Next would be Mein Kampf, then Mother Jones, then the Huffington Post, then...you get the idea. Banishing books requires someone to be the one to choose what the rest of us can and can't read, when we should all be allowed to choose for ourselves.


That was the thrust of my jab. Love ya Des! :kiss on the cheek: ("Here he is! Yeah! (points) The guy I just kissed on the cheek! His...oh man...it was his BUTT cheek! Ptew!)
