Which side of the fence are you on?
You have said some books should have never been published (killing free speech), yet you say it is ok for you to say that because of free speech.
So are you for or against freedom of speech?
It is your right not to read a book that you find offensive, but by saying it should not have been published, that is saying you either don't believe in freedom of speech or you do believe in freedom of speech as long as what is being said doesn't offend you.
On freedom of speech either everyone can say what they want or no one can say what they want.
There is no middle ground.
But please keep saying it, I am sure whoever you are wanting to censor will appreciate the money.
I might be opposed to that book too, but as long as their are people trying to step on this other person's rights then sorry I will side with the book on principles.
I wouldn't read it but that is beside the point.
