First published in 1981, the "For Dummies" series of instructional and reference books present simple-to-understand guides for readers new to the various topics covered. The series has been a worldwide success with editions in numerous languages. There's likely at least one of the books on your bookshelves.Besides Math for Dummies, there's Football, Auto Repair, The Internet, French, Parenting, PCs, Investing, U.S. History, Cooking, Cloud Computing and Marketing For Dummies, and far too many more to list here. There's also a competing series called Complete Idiot's Guides, also quite popular.
So imagine my surprise, dismay, disgust and chagrin when my innocuous comment on an AOL chat board citing the person as a "dummy" for their antagonistic and clearly false, ignorant comment following an anti-Trump article was REJECTED by AOL for going against their so-called Community Guidelines.
Watch out if Joe Biden and his pack of puppeteers win the election in November. And if you can before you vote, read George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, which could aptly be titled 2021, and get ready to have every one of your original thoughts silenced for the good of the community.
