After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like "America Deceived" from Amazon and Wikipedia, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever (especially for books).

You might also want to submit your review to LibraryThing. We don't have Amazon millions, so we decided to focus on what makes us better: we're much larger--for example, the HP group on Shelfari has 121 messages, the one on LibraryThing more than 11,000--and more friendly. So, there are fifty prizes, not two, and we've removed the incentive to avoid giving others' reviews a thumbs-up. <a href="http://www.librarything.com/blog/2007/07/harry-potter-review-contest-50-winners.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.librarything.com/blog/2007/07/harry-potter-review-contest-50-winners.php</a> Hey.
