And being politically correct is a form of control. This control comes about in the form of society rules or conformity. <BR/>I for one will NEVER conform to society's rules. I am an INDIVIDUAL. <BR/>The governments do not like individuals. <BR/><BR/>Telling us what we can and cannot read is censorship. The Catholic church and the Vatican has a very well known and rather long list of books that their adherents are not permitted to read. <BR/><BR/>That is censorship. <BR/><BR/>Nobody tells me what I can and cannot read.Francesca Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240118158098699822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536831449003058192.post-58570456346275685822008-07-04T12:17:00.000-04:002008-07-04T12:17:00.000-04:00I agree with your sentiments.

The thinking is that if people behaved, we might find that there is more to like about each other. If half the people don't like how the other half speaks there will not be any occasion to find common ground. I am not sure if regulating how a person speaks as opposed to the ideas a person is trying to communicate qualifies legally as censorship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536831449003058192.post-28437353481099157162008-07-03T14:48:00.000-04:002008-07-03T14:48:00.000-04:00This is a travesty - and it is why I am so opposed...This is a travesty - and it is why I am so opposed to censorship and banning of any literature...who are these people who feel it is their right to deny others the freedom to read? I will bet every single person who wanted this worked banned and censored has not even read the book.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.com
