Came across this gem while browsing the Web after graduation:
HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
That's right.  Conservative leaders have now taken to discussing which books shouldn't have been written.  Of course, a book (in the non-fiction context of these books, anyway) is really just a lengthy, expressed collection of ideas.  I fail to see how an idea can be in itself harmful.  It falls to people to act upon those ideas and do harmful things with them.  To put this in a way that the Human Events people can relate to: ideas don't kill people, people kill people.

Too tired to put up a decent-sized rant today.  Graduation followed by a good Frisbee toss has taken quite a bit out of me.
