Hi to everyone who read and/or commented on this article. I do see the point of those who state "you should have cited exact dates and locations where these books were banned". I think that is a fair and valid point. Yes, context is important, and in the article's introduction I should have stated: "The following examples are all of books once banned in certain areas and at a certain time in the U.S." Yes, I can see how the article's title could be misleading. My apologies for any misunderstandings caused.

Thanks Miss Cellania. As is quite obvious to everyone, politics is a very "hot button issue". I hope the article didn't upset anyone and I wish all Neatorama readers a great day!

A wonderful, informative article, Jill. I really enjoyed it- and learned a lot!!!!

If Miss Cellania is an Evil Twin, then she is the nicest Evill Twin I've ever heard of!

Great quiz, Miss Cellania! O.K, I got 11 of the 12. I must admit, i mis-called Karl Marx.

Ironic: A combination of circumstances or a result that is the opposite of what is or might be expected or considered appropriate (An irony that the firehouse burned).
-Webster's New World College Dictionary- 4th Edition

Hi Davy,
I took it as ironic that Franklin Roosevelt, being or only handicapped U.S. President was a cheerleader (cheerleaders obviously need the use of their legs for the strenuous mobility that job requires).
If Adolf Hitler had been a member of a synagogue or if Yoko Ono had been a beauty queen, these would be examples of "irony".
You may, indeed, have a different definition of the same word, as many words have more than one definition, but the above is the definition I use.
Have a great holiday weekend, Davy!
Cordially, Eddie
