I'm a cheater.
I am so bad. I am using a column I wrote for the school newspaper as my latest post. BAD TOMMY! BAD!
Whee! Here we go!
Whenever I hear the words, ‘Social Crusader’, I get shivers of Roman Catholic proportions down my spine. I’m all about standing up for what you believe in or what’s right, unless it’s stupid.
A perfect example of this, Mrs. Laura Mallory, mother of four, resident of Lawrenceville, Georgia, tried to get the Harry Potter series banned in the local school nearby for: “evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice, spells and teaching children all of this.” People do this kind of thing all the time and it ticks me off. THIS IS HER OPINION. There is no secret cult of Harry Potter worshippers lurking in the sewer system, biding their time to until they can unleash their practiced spells onto mankind. Also, there is the teensy-weensy little detail that it’s just fiction.
I personally love the Harry Potter series, and have had no symptoms of side-effects such as…I don’t know…thinking about setting people ablaze with my mind. I haven’t really noticed any of the aforementioned themes that Mrs. Mallory paints her crusade banner with. The themes I noticed were things like growing up, facing adversity, and learning about the person that you are. I must have skipped the “how-to-do spells” chapter.
Mrs. Mallory is just trying to get attention for herself. If you don’t like the books don’t read them. But the problem is, you see this kind of thing all the time, and that’s what gets me. Video games, rock n’ roll, comic books, little bite-size chocolate candies; all are blamed as the reason why America’s children are SO screwed up. Maybe parents should try spending time with their kids, instead of going on social crusades.
If you have something valid and worthwhile to complain about, by all means, do it. But otherwise, please close your elongated yap. (No one cares). If you don’t, I just might come and cast a spell on you.
Chew on this as well:
