Censorship: Agree or Disagree?

      I do not believe that censoring or banning books is a proper idea. I believe that a discretionary warning, like used for movies would be a better idea. People have the freedom to write just as much as people have the freedom to read. To ban or to say, "You can't publish this piece because it disgusts me," or whatever the issue may be is wrong. As stated in the video "Banned Book Week: 13 Authors speak out," not only are you silencing thoughts and ideas but you are also being prejudice and fearful. A book is art, just like any painting you could observe. Does that mean that Salvador Dali's impression of death needs to be banned in 31 countries?  That's nonsense. People look upon illustrations and find them beautiful. Why can't the world do that with books as well?
