Butter Side Up

Tonight we read the Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. While it is quite entertaining, especially when one is young and learning to read, I have never understood the Zooks. Zooks are the characters that eat their bread butter side down. It seems like all you would do is make a mess on your plate with the butter on the bottom of the bread. Unless of course, you turned it upside down when you put it on the plate. Would this simple act turn you from a Zook to a Yook?

An interesting point about the Butter Battle Book, it was censored in some libraries during the cold war. Yes, censored because of its position on the cold war. The supreme court is taking up a casing dealing with the FCC's decency enforcement. The individuals are seeking to strike down a precedence invoking the first amendment. I believe strongly in the first amendment, and the second, and well really all of the amendments. However, I do not think the constitution gives anyone the right to be vulgar or indecent. It does give use the right to speak freely and give opinions. Is not being able to say F&$k over the broadcast channels going to limit your ability to eloquently speak your thought. I think not, if anything, the limitation on vulgar language will enhance the dialect.
