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.

I have read most of them...
there were a few of them that
very much reflect how the world is now...
I guess the panel wanted things to stay
referring to the realm of women: barefoot and pregnant..
god forbid one should work..or know anything about
sex...and think?...oh no, that's just not allowed
to happen..people are not capable of doing something
as complicated as that
jeez..
some of those were required reading when I was
in college...especially the sociology ones..
so they think sociology/anthropology is dangerous?
morons...
at this rate - there is no hope for the species

Yeah, I think there is....they are SO not the moral majority they think they are. Neither...moral nor the majority!
