I think that books like the one you are talking about should be in public libraries where parents can check them out to read together with their child when the time is appropriate. It's better than banning them outright.  \nI'm coming at this question as a former librarian and a parent of two sons.  I get upset when some people want books banned just because they object to the content.  I believe that they have the right not to read the book or tell their children not to read the book, but not to keep others from having access.  In reality, many animals are homosexual, a fact that has been downplayed if not actually hidden by those in control of education.(See article in source.) If more children knew that things like that happen for real, maybe fewer of our young people would ruin thier lives instead of thinking they can never tell their parents if they happen to be gay.\n I believe in telling children the truth when they ask about a certain situation.  If they know enough to ask, they are old enough to understand a simplified version.  The first time my children asked about where babies came from, I told them the truth without graphic details.  As they grew up, I explained it to them more fully and bought them reference books to make sure they had the truth and not just what they heard from their friends.    Maybe if parents didn't condemn things out of hand, maybe their children would actually talk to them instead hiding everything.  I actually knew people who killed themselves rather than let their parents know they were gay and both of their parents were upset that their children hadn't felt they could confide their secret.

As far as I know there is not a copy that you can find. I have looked and there is not much on it. After all, this is not something that some people want us to know about. There are some good books that talk about it, but I do not know of any that have the report in it. I don't think that many people want to know, after all, it shakes their comfort to think that they might not be as "free" as they think.

It's a private club. I don't know how you could ban it without banning other members'-only groups also. \n\nIt does look like a very strange club, a secret society with lot of members who create policy in business and government, where people engage in weird rituals.\n\nI'd say it would be more important to understand how groups like that  influence, and in some ways, undermine, our political and economic institutions than it would be to try to outlaw them.

I received an e-mail yesterday, which was apologising for errors made in the censorship. This was from Yahoo UK.\nThey are trying to do something about it. Apparently the address for complaining to when you receive a violation which you think is wrong had an error in it, so many people never received replies to their violation complaints.\nPerhaps it will be better now.

I think whomever told you about Fahrenheit 451 must have confused you with the subject of the story, since it is about books being outlawed and an individual who tries to save them.\n\nSeveral books have been banned in the U.S, among them James Joyce's Ulysses, considered one of the best novels of the 20th century. Many other books have been banned in smaller communities, even recently, anymore those tend to be isolated incedents, I'd like to think in this day and age State or Federal authorities wouldn't be able to wholesale ban something based on 1st amendment rights. The link below from the University of Pennsylvania outlines some bannings, not only in the United States but abroad as well.

Bad, very bad.  First of all, the impediments mentioned in the editorial are real and persuasive.  Secondly, but more powerfully, the current administration has squandered any good will we received after 9/11 and ruined our reputation world-wide and don't give a rat's ass about that.  And thirdly, the current administration has been hostile to the UN and made many difficulties there, so it is very unlikely that any American would for some time be even mentioned for the job.  And further, such an idea from the LA Times is only a desperate grasp at repair of the current damage and it is foolish to think that Clinton, or anybody "so well respected" could use his personal reputation to mend the ruins we are left with by this administration.

I haven't read it, but if it is a work of fiction and advertised as such, then it's not false advertising! We do have freedom of speech and freedom of the press in this country-if you don't like it, don't read it. I bet someone reads it now because of your question just out of curiosity-so you just advertised for a book you find repulsive. Oops.

The censorship. Its more like manipulation.\nThey're leading the American public the wrong way.\nAnd how democratic is it when you can only choose between two parties?? Anyone who doesnt have a billion dollars for all the publicity wont get noticed. What nonsense!

yes...an author from harvard fairly recently got busted for it twice...she used characters from another book saying almost the exact same lines under the same situation as in another book that was published years ago, and i don't remember what she did for the other....but look it up, i can't believe it was so blatant.....

YAHOO SEEMS TO BE DELETING THE ACCOUNTS OF THOSE THAT ARE OPPOSED TO THE DEMOCRATIC AND LIBERAL VIEWS. WHY HASN'T JIM W BEEN DELETED THAT GUY SAYS SOME PRETTY CRAZY STUFF YET HE IS A STAUNCH DEMOCRAT. BUT IF YOU AS MUSH AS OPPOSE A LIBERAL OR DEMOCRATIC VIEW YOU GET A VIOLATION NOTICE. THEN YOU GET DELETED. IT IS BECOMING A JOKE. THE POLITICAL FORUM IS ONE SIDED.

David Koresh wasn't against the US. He had his own agenda that was misleading himself and his followers. He didn't do anything illegal outside his "compound". If he did, it was never reported. The only thing he was suspected of was illegal weapons, and that is not known. Inside, he did have sex with young girls in his flock with girls and parents consent. Wrong for sure, but it wasn't known until after they died.\nWhat happened was a major blooper that Clinton and Reno got away with. He was given more freebies than any president in history. America let him get away with murderer; more than once. This one being the worse because of the number of people and the children.

I have seen this here during the last hour. This guy posting questions and rants saying he hates the USA and would root for our enemies if WW3 broke out. I absolutely despised Bill Clinton but I never transferred my disgust for him into a hatred for my country. Not once.

It's all the Alcohol and drugs these NEO_CON'S are using. Clinton's written three novels and Hillary is in her second term, as Senator of New York, just adding to their portfolio. These drunks and drug addicts are stuck in the 60's. "WHERE DID IT ALL GO MAN" Up your nose, and in your stomach's that where it all went NEO_CON'S. Vote these them out in November.

I think it's kind of gone into a bad light. Although our punishment of bombing Afghanistan fit the crime (in my opinion), as time goes on people do forget what we were trying to accomplish there. And the war in Iraq (which I do not support nor condemn) is taking precedence over what our true cause was.
