Banned Books Week: Just a Lot of Propaganda Says Jonah Goldberg

Personally, I think the PATRIOT Act, as well as some of the other stuff they're said to be developing (RealID tech, the RDIF IC, et al.) is in violation of the Constitution, mainly our 5th amendment rights and/or right to privacy.

@jcrebel18 You should listen to the lecture I linked. It's very prophetic

Isn't banned book week mainly about books banned in schools?

That thing about Sarah Palin is a rumor. That doesn’t mean it isn’t true, but there is insufficient evidence.

I agree with banned book week, but it does fit into some definitions of Propaganda. (Propaganda has negative connotations but does not necessarily have to be bad.) "Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position."

@LinkMEP It would depend on his interpretation he's not a real friend of teachers and really he wasn't aiming for a road definition, we has aiming for it's negative connotations to detract what Banned Books is really about. As you just said.

However I think it has deeper things we should consider like how lucky we are
