Some person or persons who should be hunted down and, themselve expunged, has the temerity, gall and ignorance to think that they have the right to touch one word written by Mark Twain...Who are these philistines who take license to edit, nay, re-write the words of the greatest American author???
They have undertaken to replace the appellation "Nigger Jim" with "Slave Jim" in "Huck Finn". WTF???
Why are all of us who grew up in America when it was not run by pencil neck dweebs not storming our local libraries to cast into the streets and burn the offending volumes???
Who are these people that despoil an American classic.
Somebody explain this to me because I clearly don't understand...
This major atrocity is being perpetrated by a so called "Twain Scholar" pencil neck geek named Alan Gribben from Auburn University...(BTW, I have been to Auburn and there are no "scholars" there...Just sayin'...).
Any hoot, he claims he is not censoring but merely "updating a classic".
1. Who does he FREAKIN' think he is, changing the work of Mark Twain?????
2. By definition, you don't "up date" classics...that's why they call them classics...This guy must be a real piece of work...
BTW...As you might expect...they got "Injun Joe" as well...I think they are calling him "Native American Joseph"...
Has the entire world gone mad???
Joe is going to the gin early this morning...
Needless to say, we will be boycotting this book...
