I read it some days ago, and couldn'T believe it (or could I...). This is forging of arts. What next? Covering pictures of arts and marmore status showing nudity? In Germany, there is a pedagogic movement that weants to ban the tales of the Brothers Grimm for it'S cruelty that is unappropriate for children. And sweriously, in several countries in Europe there are attempts to get Asterix banned, too, for it'S explicit brutality hindering kids and teens to develope adequate cognitive conflict solution behavior. Some years ago we had news that some British schools had banned sports like Basketball or Football, because they are "too competitive".

I love the idea of what Europe could be by its diverse and rich and precious cultural and value-related heritage. I despise and hate what instead it is degenerating to in reality. In principle, the same conflict I have with the US, which also is admirable for what it was meant to be, but showing an unbridgable gap between the historic idea, and the reality it had turned out into.

Maybe it is something like a law of faste - that the idea and the imagination always beats the realisation, and is much better than reality ever will (and could?) be.

Good book, not so good movie (Farenheit 451), btw. But Truffaut never was my taste anyway.
