Chilling...
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.

Holy Bible: King James Version

anything by William J. Bennett
many more too numerous to mention
Oddly, I agree with them about Mein Kampf. But I wouldn't want to prevent anybody from reading it either. Same with the above - anybody should read them to see how dangerous they are.
