Maybe they should ban TH & LotR from the children's section of the Library, too? Isn't reading about adults smoking as bad as seeing it on screen? Or maybe those references could just be quietly excised? Or maybe that's the plan - first the films,
then the books - & we all know the argument: If banning 'x' can protect even one child..... I'm always wary of people who wan to ban things for other peoples' own good, because while they may start off wanting to ban things which genuinely are dangerous, they usually get a taste for banning things, & before you know where you are they're banning anything & everything 'just in case' & you end up at the stage where anything not compulsory is banned.
