I agree with you, very much so. The banning of books is an issue that can really piss me off, I do not understand it. I imagine that the people doing the banning must be the most insecure people ever...I mean really, if you do a good job raising your children and instilling good values & etc (of course one of my "good values" is an open mind, and another is tolerance), then it won't matter what they read. Yes, they may have questions, and "oh no" they could be tough ones! But what better way to expand the mind, understand the past, understand different cultures (and that means counter cultures as well as foreign ones) etc. etc.

In other words, I really agree with you!!!
