The solution, my friends, is obvious: ban all childrens' books. If it were not for a certain tale about twisters in Kansas, we poor, deluded, post-ironic children of the late 20th Century would not suffer from fears such as those evinced in the above post -- clinically known as "Ozophobia" or "WLS (Wizard Letdown Syndrome)." We'd better burn those Harry Potter books now, and spare future generations unspeakable disillusionment. Philip
