D'oh! How did I miss the fact that it is Banned Books Week September 22-29, 2001?!?

Take a while to read the Freedom to Read Statement. It's especially important to remember that it's our right as citizens of this country to read anything we damn well please. Every country we've ever villified has been guilty primarily of keeping knowledge from its citizens - knowledge of ideas, knowledge of its own practices, and knowledge of things considered by those in power to be dangerous to the state. Yeah, whatever.

While you're at it, try browsing around The Banned Books Project.

I was reminded rather forcefully by JessaJune and Davezilla.
