Book Bannings, et al…

Ok..this is making me crazy.
The govt. has decided to ban ALL children’s books published before 1985 on the off chance there might possibly be lead in the illustrations. And, in addition, the new law covers things like collectible Barbie dolls. My brain is going to explode! I feel like I am living in a bad movie. Hopefully, we will wake up soon.
In all seriousness, overzealousness will be the deaths of us yet. Orwellian times are upon us and, if we don’t so something to stop it now, it will be too late (if it’s not already).
Read The New Book Banning by Walter Olson, City Journal 12 February 2009 and, for further education, read Overlawyerd.com for some insight into what the heck is going on. It’s up to “We, The People” to stop some of this nonsense.

And, for those of us who live and work in New York State, time to let our “esteemed” Gov. know where exactly he can stick his budget. When he shows us he is serious about conserving money by taking back those unnecessary raises and exacting paycuts of 20% for himself and all his ASSembly and Senate workers, them maybe we will listen.
