@staidwinnow I don't call reading the books "cowering." To me, "cowering" would be accepting the ban, refusing to read the books & preventing your kids from reading them. Actually taking the step to read them is at least an act of rebellion, though an admittedly small one.

But I think it's the 1st step. But you're right, it must lead to severe consequences for the State. They burn our books? We burn them DOWN. Just how we go about doing that, I don't know. But we definitely do not sit idly by.

Just when you think they can’t possibly get any more evil, they destroy the bottom of the barrel and fall to the next floor below.
