I can't say I approve of changing any author's words, especially a giant like Twain. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer should be required reading in High School. I'd suggest Letters From The Earth as well.

Are you saying you're new to Pink Floyd???

yep thanks for the recommendation. You too, Yodajazz. (Anyone know the woman who sang those great gospel-like riffs in Dark Side?)

Letters From The Earth is fastastic.

Bowdlerizing works of art to protect the innocent is a conservative impulse (not to be confused with satirical uses and aesthetic uses of art). It goes back to when the Christian churches plastered fig leaves over the genitalia of Greco-Roman sculptures and Renaissance paintings. Since then, easily offended souls have expurgated Shakespeare, bowdlerized Gibbon and now Mark Twain. It’s always for the sake of the innocent. There's nothing wrong with self-restraint or encouraging others to exercise self-restraint with the goal of minimizing offense to others. There's nothing wrong with making sure the government observes the first amendment's establishment clause. It's another thing entirely to vandalize another person's artistic expression. If a teacher doesn't think her class can handle Twain's language, then he just shouldn't assign Mark Twain.

I was reading something about the recession hitting baby-boomers, some to the point of homelessness.

I thought to myself that those homeless boomers finally achieved their 'anti-establishment' goals and that I hoped they're happy. The rebellious children have finally made something of themselves lol.

Seriously, this recession couldn't have happened to a better generation than the hippy generation. I LOVE it. With few exceptions, I hope the hippies are enjoying the fruits of their spoiled nature.
