Banned Books Week

Never walk in new shoes.
They tend to hurt your toes.
Now, this probably didn't need to be pointed out, but out of experience I wouldn't advise it.

So this week is banned books week, I guess. Apparently people are trying to ban certain books from kids because parents don't like these books.. I'm not the biggest fan of this whole thing. Our society is dying. Knowledge is easier to find then ever, and yet people are trying to block others from accessing it. That doesn't make sense to me. Schools are saying: 'Go! Get out into the world! Travel, read books, sing, dance, explore, be yourselves!... Except you can only listen to this kind of music, dance in this certain way, dress like this, talk like that. You have to be the same as your mother and your grandmother and the complete stranger that lives down the street. You may only read books that certain groups of religious mothers tell you to. And sense the world is a dangerous place, you must stay inside and and watch The Office, because that is much safer than learning.'
It seems like a flaw. People are trying to make our already illiterate United States population dumber (I lave lack for a better choice in words). This should not be the case. I think everyone should just be able to read and write and think for themselves. To experience life how they want to, without parents and teachers telling everyone what can and cannot do, and think, and say.

Well, that's the end of my rant. I am satisfied.
