You know, anything that ever gets “banned”, immediately becomes like “forbidden fruit”. Everyone and their mother will trample each other just to get a glance at the source of the scandal themselves – even if it’s something that would fail to pique their interest otherwise.
This is an actual event – one of many. There are plenty of legal/uncensored violence, sex, drugs, and blasphemy books. People are naturally just drawn to that Eden-esque apple every time we hang it high, shake a finger, and say “ah, ah, ah!”.
It’s just like my dog. If I put up a gate anywhere in my apartment, she’ll break her back to scale it. Why? Because it suddenly becomes her life’s mission to shit on the other side. I could move that gate every day, and every day that butt mud would burn a second hole in her colon until is was unleashed on whatever portion of the floor was prohibited. Nothing else matters. Just that restricted region of rug.
So, could this concept work to our advantage?
In the age of fools I can’t help but wonder if a little reverse psychology is what it might take to finally educate our illiterate and ignorant in general. I mean, this chick almost lost her face because she loved to learn. Even so, she’s still hell bent on using her eyes for education until those Tali-bastards come pluck them out of her head:
I don’t know. It sounds feasible in theory, but even if we banned all texts or novels necessary to intrigue them into proper punctuation, superb spelling, and excellent English overall, we’d still be screwed by one sad fact:
There’s still no book on “common sense”.
