[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 182006, member: 8657"] And it gets better - Some of the books that have been banned recently (or folks have tried desperately to do so) in the U.S. for God's Sake - George Orwell's 1984 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee The Color Purple Gone With the Wind The Life and Times of Renoir Some of the Little House on the Prairie books My Friend Flicka To Kill a Mockingbird (MY favorite) Where's Waldo? And here's the topper, folks. Robert Rowen, aged 49, of Boulder, Colorado, took his small child to the Boulder County Library. When they got inside, they were greeted by a 21 ceramic peni- display, which was there to honor Domestic Violence Awareness month. (?) Right then and there, Robert packed up the peni-es, stashed them at home and attempted to put an American flag up in their place. After a run in with the cops, over the "stolen property",the flag was taken down and the peni-es were reinstated. The reasoning, "If the kids don't like 'em, they don't have to look at 'em". THAT is what I call Politically Correct. Only in the People's Republic of Boulder. [/QUOTE]
