Read a couple alarming articles about the banning of books (alarming because the ease of which the books were banned and alarming because said books didn’t even contain the objectionable material they were accused with). I’d like to write a thoughtful essay on all of this, speak with erudite flourish and acumen on the subject. But I don’t have time at the moment (just time enough to fling a few big words out to make me sound smart). Thankfully, I did find an image that kind of paraphrases what I would have gone on at length about…
image?
btw, fire stuff tonight. *shrug*

There is no hell. Especially for those who ban books. We put them to the stake. Their soul does not leave. They must suffer the pyres for eternity. There is also a little man sitting in a chair with a glass of ice cold lemonade that is never empty. He sips it constantly, while he reads the books that they have banned. Every so often, he will offer a glass to them, and laugh.
I must have mis-read your punishment – for it sure sounds like hell to me.
I have to admit, it’s downright Dante-esque.
That, my dear, is not hell. That is entertainment.
