That must be a misprint, Asterix is a comic book based on the Roman Empire. Nothing sexual about it. I started reading it when I was 12.

No it seems to have made many of the lists and there are many on the internet

Yeah, how about just saying they were fascists or inhuman or do you expect me to believe everything people print:
Nazis Were Left-Wing Socialists
Nazisim was unique that it took a lot of aspects of many spectrums and became extreme facism.
A one leader state, which controlled the economy and the media, but allowed private corporations to exist (Ironically the smirk-looking front end of the VW Bug was designed by Hitler himself).
Its unfortunate that this type of political spectrum will be forever hated due to the insane desires of the Reich to ethnically cleanse minorities in the population

Re: RE: Freedom to Read
Check the censorship link on the url, TenPenny. I've followed Little Sister's case closely over the years. The government has stooped to the ridiculous in this case ...in their rabid attempt to ban anything homoerotic, they ended up banning a book called "Hot Hot Hot" that was actually about cooking with Jalepeno peppers! They obviously are not even checking what they are banning. It's become a free for all. Little Sisters has put up the good fight for many years and I've been a supporter.
It is a big deal. And I do know the facts.
Mein Kampf has a very interesting history. To refresh my memory, I checked on it before posting any comments:

The idea that people SHOULD read this type of book sits well with me. The more we know, the better. If people educated themselves beyond their own narrow views I believe history would be less likely to repeat. As for banning Mein Kampf, yes, it is available, but there is considerable controversy over it.
Canada is a free nation. That means we should have the right to read any damn thing we please ... with the exception of common sense topics like child pornography or snuff films. To set the boundaries right out at the very edge allows people to gain a full knowledge rather than treating them like dim-witted morons that require protection from themselves. I get so tired of the government legislating what is "good for me" that I could rip every hair out of my head. Censorship is right up there at the top of my "bitch list".

I have to say that I strongly support Canada banning books, furthermore I think that there should be much more publicity around which books are banned, maybe a column in the newspapers ever few weeks listing all the recent banned books....
Just think what it would do to get people away from the TV and back to reading

Actually I did, but didn't pick up on the sarcasm until now, sometimes I need a visual aid, like smileys
