My step-mother was offended when I told her I read a magazine called Conscious Choice. She thought it was a gay magazine (oh, the horror...) and said she would never read such a thing. Imagine her horror when I told her her husband's (my dad's) company advertised in it. She was embarrassed when I revealed that its a magazine about healthy living and environmentalism.

I am not one for censorship, though I have pretty strict standards for my kids' reading. <BR/><BR/>And just for the record, (hope I am not about to start something here) I have to shake my head and wonder when someone brings up the Bible and uses it to back their argument for not banning books. The Bible does not give salacious details (and in many cases, no details) for some of the awful things mentioned(and those awful things are never condoned), so it cannot really be used for comparison, nor the end all, beat all argument.jubileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924715623122612454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-11539328578304773392008-08-14T16:09:00.000-08:002008-08-14T16:09:00.000-08:00This post was awesome.I think there's a difference...This post was awesome.<BR/>I think there's a difference between books that I am uncomfortable with my munchkins reading, and me thinking that I should have the right to keep books out of YOUR children's hands.<BR/><BR/>Also: "Amber St. Claire" is maybe the trampiest name I've ever heard.
