Book Banning...in a Chicago Book Fair. That's what I love about that town. When you haven't got an original thought...or any intellectual ammunition to bring into the arena of ideas....BAN the other side's opinion. Third World Dictator's rejoice! That's the ticket! This is a very, very slippery slope folks. This isn't the only place this is happening.
In June we attended the Printer’s Row Literature Festival in Chicago. City blocks were closed off for tents and booths full of all types of literature. We presented a board with a selection of well known book covers and asked visitors of the event if they could choose to ban any of the books on the board, which if any, they would in fact ban. They were allowed to choose any three of the eleven choices."
