Robert Green Ingersoll

[cornerofmadness]

said it well when he said “You have no right to erect your toll-gate upon the highways of thought”

I'd like to tattoo that to forehead of the idiot who set his/her god-given righteousness loose on the young adult section of my local library.

I'm reading the third book in the Gatekeeper's series and some fool has gone through and blacked out all the swear words (as if you can't tell what they should have been) and anything that used God's name in vain (Like an OMG).

I'd like to tie this person down and read Harry Potter to him until he foams at the mouth.

Ingersoll also said "Every library is an arsenal” I guess that's what holier than thou is trying to disarm. Wouldn't want the young ones to have freedom of thought.

My thought is, does the library have to use my tax dollars to replace the book this moron defaced?

ETA - Holy crap! I wrote 7438 words since wednesday and most of it was holiday fic fulfillment!
