Banned Books

Ellroon reminded me about Banned Books Week (Sept. 25 – Oct. 2, 2010) which fits with my latest addition to the Quotes on my sidebar:

Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.” [Where they burn books, in the end they will burn people.]

That was written by Heinrich Heine, a poet, at the beginning of the 19th century. Over a century later his books were burned in Germany by a government that did, indeed, burn people in the end.

If I am willing to tolerate the existence of the ordure… excuse me, oeuvre of Ayn Rand without grabbing charcoal starter fluid and a Zippo anything should be acceptable.

Didn’t Disney make it into a movie, Steve?
