#1 Surgical implementation of Fahrenheit 451. If certain passages of the Koran offend me, will they be removed?

#3 I'm glad I have all electronic editions that *they* can't burn or re-edit. I recommend everyone get their copies soon before everything is pasteurized and homogenized for the 'greater good'.

#4 /\ AA, unless your e-book is a PDF file on a CDROM then you are at the mercy of "Updates" ...stealth (quote)edits(un-quote) if you have a Kindle™ for example.

I tried to find some unedited James Bond. It seems he's out of print and will continue that way until the edited version is printed.

#7 Abu Uluque, I have found AbeBooks.com to be helpful in the past when looking for books. Helped me fill out some series that were missing a few books...

#8 Before I went all e-book despite the risks (1400+ books on my iPad, bay-bee!), I too found AbeBooks.com useful. Amazon also has a lively second hand book market — there is some overlap of suppliers, but that’s ok.

#10 One can only imagine what the remake of Blazing Saddles would look like under this new Fascist LSD run generation.

#11 Blazing Saddles would be about 8 minutes long - including the credits.

#12 I can remember just a few years ago when they wanted to delete part of old movies where people were smoking cigarettes. Pathetic as that idea was, it ain't nuthin' compared to this current lunacy.
