continue to be quite stupid.

Sigh. At least we have New Zealand to love, as flightless parrots tells us.

In other news, I believe that someone in NZ’s neighbor to the northwest found my page by searching for “dandyprat.” AWESOME.

quote to go:

“All books and knowledge are not of the same value. Some are uplifting and move us to become better individuals. Other knowledge is degrading, filthy and damaging to the character.”

—A mother petitioning the Central Valley (WA) School District to take The Natural off the 10th Grade reading list because of its passages about making out, skinny dipping and female breasts. You know the Natural—that book from the early NINETEEN FIFTIES that was made into a movie with ROBERT REDFORD. Subversion written all over it. Not to mention also degradation, filth, and damage to the character. OH WAIT—that’s just knowledge. Nevermind.
