Subject: The Book of the SubGenius is officially a banned book
After nearly four years and $140,000 in legal costs, the SubGenius
child custody case of Reverend Magdalen has been dismissed. End
result: She has custody of her son at last, and the status quo is
maintained -- except that she is officially forbidden from keeping
SubGenius materials in her home, in order to Protect Her Son from
"Bob." No, really.  Please Digg this:

 http://digg.com/world_news/The_Book_of_the_SubGenius_is_officially_a_...

Some might say that because only one person (Reverend Magdalen) is
forbidden from keping the Book of the SubGenius in her home, that
doesn't make it a banned book.  The idea of censorship is to use force
to keep others from expressing ideas and beliefs, and as such this
means that not only is Magdalen being censored -- so is her son.  And
so is everyone in the Church who supports her.

I think it's a good idea; just think how you might have turned out,
had your parents had the Book of the SubGenius around the house? There
are many slackful objects and activities that don't have a Dobbs Head
on 'em. Surely, those cannot fall under that same ban.

Magdalene got her kid back and that is all that matters.

So, authority was wrong all along, knows it, but can't resist having a
last kick to remind folks who has the big boots, eh?

This is beyond petty.

If keeping "forbidden material" in her home is that last kick, then maybe
a local whip round for a Bob Dobbs billboard in the garden?

This so needs to not be the end of this.

Or just wait til he turns 16 (legal adulthood in GA), hand him the Book of
the SubGenius, and explain why the judge was such a tightass and threatened
his family for said book. 5 years later, he completes law school, and moves
his way up to being a judge who will ensure such an act never happens again,
at least under his watch.

Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps to freedom.

Did I ever mention I met an old lady in Brooklyn when I was ten, and saw a
series of numbers tattooed on her left wrist? Took me years to get it (since
they didn't go into detail in history class), but once I did, I knew all I
needed to know about the Nazis. Knowing how something can fuck up ones life
is mighty edumacational.

Some friend's folks still had the ID numbers on the underneath of
their dining table, the one they escaped from Austria with during that
time.

I cried bloody tears at an art exhibit at Seattle's COCA, where the
piece was made of some long tree limbs and lots of barbed-wire.  The
president of COCA showed me the butterfly that was semi-hidden up on
one of the tree limbs, that is perported to be a butterfly the artist
had nurtured througout his interment at Auschwitz and managed to bring
home.

I didn't give much of a fuck about the 'holacaust' reference at all.

What I was crying about is so much dumbassery permeating the human
expositoriationalisms going on for the last several million years.

Magdalen being reunited with her son is the most important matter, no
one is questioning that.  But if it was all that mattered, then we
never would have gotten involved in this private matter between her
and her ex at all.  It was only after someone decided to involve the
Church of the SubGenius in this, and someone else decided that
Magdalen's perversions and mental facilities because of her
affiliations with the Church were enough to take away her son, that it
became *our* matter as well.  And the fact that even now, after all
that waste of time, money, and effort, things are back where they were
*except* for the fact that Magdalen is prevented from openly
displaying "religious/artistic/parody" materials in her home, means
that it is still our matter.  Her son is most important...but this is
still a matter important to us all.

As for the question, "why is this allowed in the USA?"  the answer is,
"because we don't have the money to stop it."  ("We" meaning "all of
us, and especially the Church of the SubGenius in this matter.")
