Farenheit 451

[HerenIstarion]

And before you start hurling apples at me...

Well, Bill, it's a tradition. We have to hurl apples at you.

As of the rest, it was an excellent discourse, but towards the end of it I tend to agree with Squatter rather than with you. Whatever is said about society as a machine and each human as a small slot ot socket inside it's belly, each and every time is is an individual who decides, makes a choice (heh, I'm hinting at free will discussions, yes Sir) what is to be done in this very moment, should this book be banned or not and so forth. And opne mindedness matters so far as individual making a decision is open-minded...

BTw, I just remebered reading a russian newspaper some weeks ago, where orthodox priest was approving of HP as a good fairy tale, basing his opinion on arguments and backing himself with quatations from the scriptures. So there always are some good exeptions...
