[Publib] That book they are talking about

[Adelaide Rowe]

Yes, I know exactly - having a son who is a helicopter pilot in Anbar
Province. And if you continue with that kind of logic -

Scrotum equals moral depravity and gives comfort to our
enemies.....therefore Bin Laden who has been supported by the Taliban
and our enemies must love the word scrotum too? But only because it
shows how depraved we all are in the US and how worthy we are of being
killed........?


Somehow the same people in our country who hate freedom, the freedom of
language, and the First Amendment seem a mite too close to the Taliban
who hate freedom, the freedom of language and the First Amendment.
However the Lumbaughians, Hannitists, and the Coulterites will never
convey that connection....

Personally, I feel is has more to do with the current state of affairs 
with the world in general, kind of like the "If you're not with us your 
with the terrorists." mentality. Hardly anyone wants to take a chance on

anything being deemed too controversial.
