This is what Virginians voted for I guess. I hope it works out for you:

[quote]Two board members, Courtland representative Rabih Abuismail and Livingston representative Kirk Twigg, said they would like to see the removed books burned.

“I think we should throw those books in a fire,” Abuismail said, and Twigg said he wants to “see the books before we burn them so we can identify within our community that we are eradicating this bad stuff.”[/quote]

...

[quote]The book, “33 Snowfish” by Adam Rapp, concerns three homeless teenagers attempting to escape from pasts that include sexual abuse, prostitution and drug addiction.

Publisher’s Weekly described “33 Snowfish,” which the American Library Association named a Best Book for Young Adults in 2004, as a “dark tale about three runaways who understand hatred and violence better than love” and noted “readers may have trouble stomaching the language” and the subject matter.[/quote]

Who are the "snowflakes" again?

Spotsylvania County is hardly northern Virginia.  Jeff you lately seen laser focused on random news about Virginia. I guess we could find random outliers in DC or Virginia and make posts that paint those entire jurisdictions in bad light but why?!  I don’t understand what the angst is with you and Virginia. Because they voted a Republican as governor?  What about Maryland?  [/quote]
