More on Banning Books

Regarding my recent post Banning Books that Make Us Uncomfortable, I’m with the guy who asks, “Having you ever noticed that the people who ban books are not well regarded by history?”

It really is that simple. If you don’t believe me, try this simple test:

1) Picture in your mind a specific event, like the photo here, that symbolizes the banning of books.

2) Assign a date to it, as to when it may have taken place in world history.

3) Add 20 years to that date.

4) Ask yourself if there is any conceivable scenario in which those people emerged on the right side of whatever issue they were dealing with at the time.
