I clicked on this Netscape headline during lunch and damnear got indigestion:

http://politics.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/08/06/the-ten-most-harmful-books-of-the-19th-and-20th-century/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.humanevents.com%2Farticle.php%3Fid%3D7591&frame=true

Turns out it's on this site called 'Online Human Events' published by the 'National Conservative Weekly'. Makes for some intersting reading. But I am gonna do my usual "shake my head, ignore the scary and put my energy where it'll actually do some good."

::shakes head::

Guess we shouldn't read anything that might inform us about other ways of thinking, believing or acting even if we don't subscribe to those ideas, huh? Gosh, we might learn something or develop analytical skills or personal discernment or something.

Some of these I've read, some of them I haven't. Wish I'd read all of them.

Ok, that's my, what, second political post ever? Done. Now I'm going back to painting and put on some music for mental floss...want my good mood back.

Interesting. I've actually read the Quotations of Chairman Mao book in translation. I was given a copy that was not translated by one of the individuals who came here to discuss with MSN some of their policies regarding net searches and such in China. I admit to being a bit fascinated that they actually do wear the grey suits and hats in a very "communist" sort of way.

I've..read quite a few of those books. I wonder what that says about me

It says that you're well read and concerned with your world...far as I'm concerned anyway.
