    What is the world coming to?[^] It's based on fact, why deny it happened?

      Book Burning Fascists! Actually by banning them they make them more notorious. I still have a copy of "Little Black Sambo" but you won't see that in bookshops any time soon! :)

            The fact is that male penguins do the "hatching" all the time while females leave the family after laying the egg...ref Happy Feet (2006). In addition, the zoo keeper for the tango parents never claimed they did the deed...ref New York Times (2005) Nevertheless, had the penguins actually performed gay acts, this line of argument says that our cultural norms should be extended to what is found in wildlife. While there is nothing statutory about this wish or persuasion as a form of public discourse, allowing a few or a minority who hold this belief to overcome the decision of the majority to keep it from entering public school children's curriculum is a form of facism. Gays who walk naked in the crowded streets of San Fran during a leather fair wouldn't bother me (little bro told me of this site-seeing bonanza, recently). Nor does it bother me to see a majority prevent works of fiction from entering a public school or library. What DOES bother me is to see a statement that is flat wrong.
