Freedom? Speech? Anyone?

I am aggrieved.

First and foremost, what the fuck is UP with this Warriors for Innocence business? (ETA: I had a link posted and was warned to remove it, because it's rumored that these people have a tracking system back to journals who link to them. To this, I can only say: wtf, mate?) I apologize, I was of the impression that as an adult over the age of consent, I am perfectly within my rights to post whatever fiction I please. I suppose this means I shall have to find an archive; irritating.

Secondly, I have discovered that there are now NASCAR romance novels on sale. At my bookstore. Where I work. I think I may cry.

To close, a question: how many think that the closest any of the "Warriors for Innocence" come to getting laid is reading the aforementioned novels? I'm going to make a conservative estimate and say all of them.

Well, I think something with the whole skirt-wearing thing. And porn isn't working as well as it could... the whole not 18 thing.

Censorship is just stupid, it is. At the risk of sounding like an utter fool, Nazis and facists pulled this kind of crap. The whole book burning thing.

Which is not on either, but that's a different topic.

Lol, I didn't mean I actually watch porn, just that I'm ok reading it so long as there's, y'know, plot. And characterization. And understanding of the rules of grammar and syntax.

Orwell to Bradbury...it's a menagerie of censorship literature! Perhaps we should compile a list.

Er... cough. Syntax? Grammar? What are these things you allude to?

It would take far too long and be far too large. That being said, we could probably get funding.
