Bravo!! There's a "banned books" section in Borders - a couple of these were there, among others... I remember Trainspotting being there but I may be wrong. Point is, there were a lot of books there - i.e. To Kill A Mockingbird - that just don't deserve to be there. People get too caught up in what's PC and what's offensive these days.
That's my view anyway. I'm probably being naive, but oh well, this was a post I really agreed with, so bravo! You have such a way with words!
haha look at the comment for The Call Of The Wild..."Who knew the Nazi's didnt like sled dogs?" hhhmm notice how most of the books are banned in China, or thereabouts...and Texas pops up quite a lot too. As fascist and as homogenic as British society can get, you have got to be grateful at how much more free we are compared to other parts of the world.
Sheesh! Look at The Lorax by Dr Seuss, 'Challenged in the Laytonville, Calif. Unified School District (1989) because it "criminalizes the foresting industry." Isn't that the de-foresting industry?'
:D Utterly nuts! God must have an absolute hoot up there, looking down at how absurd we all are.

You're not naive, you're totally right and I'm glad you agree. The people who make these decisions are fucking idiots.
Really we should all be running the show! ~_^

It's good to know that in many ways we are able to tell them to go fuck themselves ^_^
