And that is why I am so fiercely anti-banning - even books I might find offensive, I figure that people should vote with their pocketbooks. Don't buy it, and I promise if it's not making a buck for the publisher, it will go away. If you get jailed for writing summer 2012 in your blog posts or anywhere else, I promise I'll stage a protest :) Now that is just plain ridiculous!

If you never hear from me again you can assume that the censorship police have caught up with me and I'm breaking rocks in some prison for hardened criminals just like me.
