How Come?

How come, when I go to Books-A-Million I see entire ROWS of books filled with the Bible, Books about the Bible, religious history, religious journals, devotionals, etc. etc. but I can’t find books about the occult?

Now look: I am not a fan of the occult in the sense that I’m a devil worshipper, but I don’t like being fed select stories and ideas by National Geographic. I like doing my own reading, my own research. I do NOT like feeling like I’m entirely out of the loop.

It’s a minor annoyance, I guess, but it gets under my skin like nothing else. I wish Nat Geo would say “like this show? Want to learn more? Check out THESE books.”

And then I wish bookstores would stock them.

Them and the Anarchist Cookbook. Not because I particularly want to BUY the Cookbook, but because I think we should be able to get any book we want.

To quote Rage Against The Machine:

“You don’t got to burn the books, you just remove them.”
