random thought of the moment:

For the modern world will accept no dogmas upon any authority; but it will accept any dogmas on no authority. Say that a thing is so, according to the Pope or the Bible, and it will be dismissed as a superstition without examination. But preface your remark merely with ‘they say’ or ‘don’t you know that?’ or try (and fail) to remember the name of some professor mentioned in some newspaper; and the keen rationalism of the modern mind will accept every word you say. — G.K. Chesterton

"(AgapePress) - Olivia Hartsell loves having her parents read to her. The Wilmington, North Carolina, first-grader has begun taking advantage of the school library, bringing home books she chooses."

"One book Olivia chose in March, though, set off a firestorm of debate when her parents, Michael and Tonya Hartsell, demanded the book be taken off the shelves at Freeman Elementary School library. The book: King & King, a tale of how a prince searches through a troupe of eligible potential princesses before he finds his true love — another prince, whom he ultimately 'marries.'"
