"Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past."

The school board in Tennessee seems bound and determined to prove the Party of Oceania right. Will Nineteen Eighty-Four be next on their "banned books" list? Stay tuned...

Also, may I point out one of my favorite quotes about banning--or burning--books:

“Coloured people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it. Someone's written a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book.”

- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Guess that'll be another one on their upcoming "banned books" list...
