My Head is Going to Explode

I shouldn't read things like this first thing in the morning. I just want to go home, crawl in bed, and pull the covers up over my head. What is wrong with these people? Who are these people? I want to cry. ::sputters helplessly::

First up: Fahrenheit 451 is "all kinds of filth":

And then: Books in Spanish outrage community:

And it was Banned Books Week just last week. How fitting:

Oh Joann. Those narrow, unhappy people, I have to pity them. How little their lives must hold. I weep for their children, though.

Good to hear from you, Ande! I need to talk to lots of sane, sensible, tolerant, generous, good-hearted people today. I just have to cling to the belief that those other people are in the minority.

::blinks:: oh my. People are even bigger idiots than I originally thought.

Unfortunately, yes. IDIOTS GALORE!

We can cling together! Cause this kind of thing is WAY depressing.

You could blame a slow news day for those stories if the context was not so distrubing. The frightening thing is that they will find their supporters who feel they have a moral right to dictate to the rest of us.

As for the gentleman and his objection to books in a foreign language, shame on him. I am sure he makes no complaints when a foreign language book is made available in English for his reading pleasure.

Ouch, ouch. Stupid people make my head hurt. Why are there so many of them?

Ugh. People seriously suck. Suck.

Frightening is certainly the right word. I have a hard time believing that he would find pleasure in reading *anything*. :-(

We are surrounded! They are advancing upon us like zombies in "Day of the Dead".

Yep, they do. But hey, your icon has cheered me up! I'll have cake please, with a side order of Rodney.
