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

[The Exorcist]

One last note LB...

Going through the list I did notice one book that's been banned repeatedly.

Huck Finn...

Unfortunately it was the left wing PC liberals who decided to ban it. :(
(Especially from HS curriculum)

Kinda scary huh?

Cheers,
Me

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.
