Pity the poor library book. All it wants is a place where it can enjoy a little freedom of speech. All it wants is be able to tell it like it is -- or like it supposes it is.
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion, but not the library book. The days of burning books are back. There's a group that sees the shelves of our libraries as their battleground. Vigilantes, they are -- guns in hand and ropes a-swinging.
If books had necks, they'd be hanging them.
These vigilantes are at war against much of what America stands for. Yes, the war in America is being waged in the libraries. And, yes, if these books had necks, they'd be hanging them from the nearest tree.
