The extreme censorship in that retirement home library makes me think the individual throwing out the books and the administrator are former prison guard and prison administrator. Perhaps the residents could get their books if they named names in a letter to the editor of the local paper or an email or phone call to one of the local TV stations.<BR/><BR/>I am curious to see how many of the books the censor is reading in secret. I remember an old movie in which the community leaders were watching porn in a basement and saying how disgusted the 8mm skin flicks were as they watched them from beginning to end.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling that censors are perverts and they project their slobbering onto the minds of serious readers. <BR/><BR/>RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-66850876397676707602009-01-23T04:55:00.000-07:002009-01-23T04:55:00.000-07:00I agree, Jenyfer.

And judging from the comment thread over there, a ot of people are willing to jump in on behalf of the residents who are being deprived of their library. <BR/><BR/>(But you read their blog <I>first?</I> Before <I>mine?</I>Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-8724438171449840702009-01-23T01:40:00.000-07:002009-01-23T01:40:00.000-07:00LOL -I happened to have read that blog just befor...LOL -I happened to have read that blog just before I came over here and I found your title quite appropriate.

And actually, when it rains here it is WARMER, something to do with the inversion layer or some such.<BR/><BR/>Censorship in any way, shape, or form really raises my blood pressure, so it's probably for the best that I haven't read your referenced article.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your cool spell!<BR/><BR/>ACLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-15155473256204844782009-01-22T10:25:00.000-07:002009-01-22T10:25:00.000-07:00It's pretty disheartening, isn't it, Elliott?
