The Books of Death?
Jun. 2nd, 2005 01:54 pmCame across this gem while browsing the Web after graduation:
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.
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.
