Carrion pictures of Chairman Mao
Free speech : Libraries
Jaun Cole discusses here an apparent case of a student being visited by yanklander Inspector Knackers because he put in an inter-library loan request for Mao's Little Red Book (you know, the one it was compulsory for Chinese peasants to wave around in attractive pictures - central to understanding that nasty viscious mind-fucked totalitarian regime). BTW, it's available on t'interweb here.
I'm really pissed - partly because instead of writing a fluffy peice for this blogs second anniversary tomorrow, I'm blogging about America, fucking America knackering the most elementary principles of free speech, librarianship and intellectual investigation. So mind numbingly stupid.
I know, our freedom is always contingent to the unrestricted will of the state and its power over life and death, but still, to see theory come to life is more than a little irritating.
Sigh.
Update
Looks like The Ingrate got in there before me on this story.

We're talking about nothing else over here stateside. BTW - your post title is better than mine: swine.
Happy anniversary to the blog. My blog also has an annivesary of sorts but nothing nearly so significant. ;-)
I found this post surfing.
In Nepal, the Maoists control about 75% of the country, while China is the biggest supporter of the oligarchy.
Regards.
