Fuel to the fire

Found a great comment on censorship tonight by one of my favorite authors, Philip Pullman.

He observes:

“The inevitable result of trying to ban something – book, film, play, pop song, whatever – is that far more people want to get hold of it than would ever have done if it were left alone. Why don’t the censors realise this?” (The spelling of realize is correct - it was printed in a British newspaper)

What do you think?

    No doubt. Which is why it disturbs me that Mein Kampf is banned throughout most of Europe.
