Yesterday I posted a blog on the Panel Mammals site in regards to the new book “Schulz and Peanuts” which is an unauthorized biography of Charles Schulz. It was supposed to be a generalized comment on how we’ve become a society of rubberneckers. Instead, as the replies rolled in, it turned into a rant on whether it was morally correct to publish the book in the first place.
I just want to go on record saying that I’m not against free speech. I am of the firm opinion that anyone should be allowed to say whatever they like in this country. After re-reading my post I realized I came off sounding like the book had no right to be published. I apologize. On the contrary…everyone has the right to be heard.
That being said, I also have the right to say the book smells like rotten tuna and cheese burritos and I really don’t wanna read it.
This is a test…
I thought you came off quite clear. Society, in general, would be better if everyone could use a taser on every moron at will.
I’ll have to agree with you Wit. Everyone does have a right to the freedom of speech. Be it bad or good, but I also will not read or apply any funds toward the author of such crap. If I really needed to waste my money on nonsense journalism there are enough media rags right in the checkout lanes at the supermarket.
Hey Wit His and Hers, Justin? Overlooked typo Scott Nickel
Good catch…updated.
Hey Kevin that would make me Electro.
I just heard an interview with the author today. He came across as a true fan of Peanuts, and Charles himself. This just might be a decent read. He has been in contact with Charles’ better half. He even has acquired images from the mans personal collection for this project. The offspring are said not to thrilled about the book, but it sounded as though his better half has helped out with information, and images.
