Well, I suppose the next step is to get these evil books banned from all libraries. I myself see this as a challenge to read all of these books, although I might skip #2 and #3. I've read number one, and most of #10. Who are these people? The same mob who have set up the "Conservapedia"???
Yes, I think so, Irene. When I saw this list I thought at first it mnight be a joke, although Mein Kampf should probably be on any bad list. But, no, they mean it.
What?!?!? They didn't deign to include "The Turner Diaries" ???? That was a pretty bad one, regardless of your political affiliations.
And Scooter Libby's erotic novel should have been on the list, too.
Thankfully, I see that Harry Potter and Charles Darwin have escaped their notice.
And "My Pet Goat," of course, was the book Resident Bush was reading to the kiddies in Fla. when the planes hit the twin towers.
