[kj] OT - List of books Sarah Palin wanted banned

[The Exorcist]

I guess some things can't be explained ehhh? LOL 
(Also a big SWANS fan amongst many many other bands.
Music and books are my life. I guess I just enjoy 
and can understand and relate to free expression in its many
various forms.)

Though in all honesty... I think it goes beyond republican/democrat left/right.

I was always pro free speech & transparency. I 
find it sad that the people who claim to be "liberal" would
go and shut down and shout down anyone who doesn't agree with them.

(How many times have you seen a right wing or 
conservative speaker being shouted down by lefties when invited
to speak at a University?) When people feel the 
need to disrupt someone's speech (Code Pink at the RNC?).

I understand that people are different and I 
respect it. I don't force my views on anyone and am more than willing
to agree to disagree. More importantly, I will 
always fight and support free Speech no matter to whom it applies!

Cheers,
Me

Have a great weekend and hope the rain is gone by tomorrow.

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. 
Being a winner is unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a 
collective. In the spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
