Funny if it weren’t true. I don’t recommend Noam for everyone. The truth hurts, and many Americans aren’t ready for the parallels he draws.

Sorry don’t see a problem with banning non-religious books in a prison.

I guess I see it as a detention center for people on trial that haven’t been convicted of a crime and being held against their will with no proof of wrongdoing.
Prisons are reserved for convicted criminals I think.

Then why don’t we convict them so they would actually be criminals?
