Agreed.
My rant was set off more by the title of the thread and in some ways the trends that I have noticed over the years. In some ways now, we are pushing into George Orwell's "1984" world more and more everyday but at a snails pace.
And not forget Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Today is much more intrusive than back in the 1950's - 1970's the world has changed and not in many good ways.
My hackles get up when banning/burning/censorship is used in titles.
