No , I never have . I've read a lot of books and articles and have never been damaged.

Did I hear Mr. Obamunist Goodwrench the assassin say that ? If not, it seems to be his agenda. Having banned work and anything related to it - as it must be damaging, the economy just keeps sliding.

Actually I have heard that from a Baptist minister once when I asked him if he had even read the Koran that he condemned. "And I don't need to take cocaine either to know it's bad for me."

Change the quote around and you get the reason for censorship:
"That work had better be banned because THE PEOPLE might read it and it might be very damaging to me."
