Last week the Albemarle County School Board voted to ban Sir Author Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet" because they claim it contains derogatory comments about Mormanism. Well boo-frickin-hoo. One book makes a few comments about a random religion and you go all ban happy? I can list you at least 100 books that were banned for better reasons than that. These books take on whole races, creeds, ideas, and religions far more powerful than a folks who ride bikes, dress alike, and wake me up too early by knocking on my door to tell me they believe that a guy in the sky sent Jesus to hop the pond and talk to Indians. I wonder why the logic loving Holmes wouldn't like them?
