Sarah Palin does. - Laura Norvig

I am absolutely opposed to banning books. - josh neff, geek at large

NO - JA Castillo

Only a fool would support the banning of books. - Aaron Krug

No. Never. Not under any circumstances. - Karen Mohler

Never. - Timothy Griffin

Absolutely not. I personally disagree with the content of some books, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. Everybody has the right to make their own decisions about what they will read and believe. - Jeremy Brooks

No. Banning books should be illegal as freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution, particularly if we are talking about what books get put in public libraries. - Alex Scoble

I am very passionately in the NO camp. Disheartened to see that Palin strove to ban books as Mayor. It's a chilling message IMO. I am hopeful that even those who support McCain/Palin would seek to ensure this isn't part of their platform. - AJ Kohn

Hells to the no. I am about the free exchange of ideas and information. You don't like a book, don't read it. easy as pie. - Archangel ωαřмaiden

Here's my answer: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Robert Scoble

Famous quote: ""This is just the beginning. Wherever books are burnt, people are burnt too" from the poet Heinrich Heine whose books were among those incinerated in Berlin. - Robert Scoble

NO. I am totally against censorship for adults. I (and everyone else) has their own mind to chose what they want to read or see. Certainly place warnings on material that might offend, but not ban. - Ian May

@Robert: I saw that photo yesterday. Very moving. So much so I'll likely compose a blog post about it soon. - AJ Kohn

The suppression of information is pretty much the definition of evil for me. - stretta from twhirl

I totally think books should be banned. Books caused Hitler. - XDpaul

no, never. - mjc

Count me among the no camp, but is anyone going to argue the other way? Can anyone even think of a good devil's advocate position for this one? - Bren -- feeling merry

i'd like to say no, but my MIL gives our kids these freaky cultish religious books that i definitely toss. - Admiral Anika

As a republican, I don't support banning of books and no one I know does. As for Sarah Palin, until someone talks to Mary Ellen Baker (the librarian) and confirms this, it is nothing more than a rumor started by the Mayor she ousted. This type of reporting has no place in journalism. - Chris Mayer

Book banning = irrelevant. What's more worrying for me is why people who believe in invisible mystical beings think they have the right not to have their wacko ideas openly mocked. - Jules

@Bren: It's interesting because I thought someone(s) would jump in and do just that. - AJ Kohn

No, and I am not in favor of killing kittens, either. What a question. - Alexei Tolkachev

@Alexei: Yes, what a question indeed. I didn't think I'd need to ask it but current events made me curious to validate. - AJ Kohn

How ridicolous. Who is to say what gets banned... I don't think books about horses should be allowed, or how about books on christianity - Mark

I am not against Christianity books by the way... I used that as an example, if you start allowing the banning of books, soon you can't say anything about the governments actions (Patriot act) then we can't protect our property - Mark

@Chris: I assume you reject any discourse the stems from Corsi's The Obama Nation then, correct? - AJ Kohn

No book banning. Ever. People have the right to choose what they sell in their shops, though. - sergiooo

Once I read a book that was so badly written that my best memory of it is of watching the cover shrivel and the pages fan open as it burnt. I wouldn't ever want to ban it, though. For one thing, I'd have to tell people what it was, and they might get curious enough to read it, and I couldn't have that on my conscience. - Deborah Fitchett

No. - Justin Long

@AJ - I haven't read the book, nor will I. But regardless of whether the accusations in the book are true or false, I wouldn't ban it. The great thing about this country is that I have to choice to read that book or not and to believe it or not. - Chris Mayer

@Peter Simard - That's the spirit (no pun intended...). It's when people say we have no right to that there's a problem. - Jules
