Books aint good fer learnin' Burn Em!
I was bored of the blog today thinking "what could I write that I havent already said - same old same old politics, another debate blah"
THEN I got this article from Kurt
The LA Times reported in an article titled "21st Century Book Burning" that Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney ordered the destruction of 300,000 books because they showed the dark side of American history.
Could we even make up stuff as ridiculous as this administration has been?!
ICE take the mike:
Freedom of Speech, let 'em take it from me
Next they'll take it from you, then what you gonna do?
Let 'em censor books, let 'em censor art
PMRC, this is where the witch hunt starts
You'll censor what we see, we read, we hear, we learn
The books will burn
You better think it out
We should be able to say anything, our lungs were meant to shout
Say what we feel, yell out what's real
Even though it may not bring mass appeal
Your opinion is yours, my opinion is mine
If you don't like what I'm sayin'? Fine
But don't close it, always keep an open mind
A man who fails to listen is blind
We only got one right left in the world today
Let me have it or throw The Constitution away
