Ban this book:

“It warn’t the grounding—that didn’t keep us back but a little. We blowed out a cylinder-head.”

“Good gracious! anybody hurt?”

“No ma’am. Killed a nigger.”

“Well, it’s lucky; because sometimes people do get hurt."

But we won't have to. Because anybody too stupid to understand what Mark Twain is trying to illustrate with that exchange is probably too stupid to read.

Ban GWTW and any works done by Southern sympathizers? Sure, let's ban every non p.c. work. Including I guess all works by leftists who were either admitted commies or fellow travelers. That would eliminate a very large pct. of literature, film, and other works considered part of American history. Dalton Trumbo was a commie who wrote many Hollywood screenplays. Should we ban "Spartacus" because Trumbo was a commie?

During the thirties and forties there were many Hollywood films with a decidedly sympathetic view of communism. Should we ban those?

I actually don't believe in banning them even though I beieve communism is the greatest evil ever created by man. And for the record as far as GWTW, I liked the book but not the movie. Couldn't stay awake through the latter.

I’m ashamed that I live on the south side of town. ==

My old BSA compass has an “S” on it.

I have been accumulating guilt for nigh onto 62 years.

Brother Dave Gardner has a few things to say about the south. Starts with singing then he begins at about .40. This is really funny stuff.

Mass hysteria and madness are spreading around the country. Without using their reasoning powers, they jump on the bandwagon and follow the insane crowd.

They lack the ability to examine their actions and ask if they are acting like fools.

Get rid of everything in existence...the DIMocRAT way. After all, they love abortion, murdering Veterans through neglect, withholding medical procedures from the elderly and so forth.

Well, at least they still play it on the Splash Mountain ride. One of the best parts of the ride as a matter of fact.

I went to Disneyland in January for the first time since I was really little. Splash Mountain was closed for renovations. :’( So was the Haunted House. Small World was still Christmas-y. It was a pretty disappointing trip.

That’s too bad! We went back in November. I kid you not, we rode Splash Mountain six times in a row, didn’t even have to get off of the thing because the Fantasmic show was running at the same time. The guys running the ride just asked us over and over if we wanted to go again (didn’t know they allowed that at DL). It was great! Got a fantastic view of the fireworks!

When I worked up north in Boston all I ever heard about he south was jokes and bigotry. The in the next breath they would say how the south was still fighting.

Weird how it’s all the northern elitist media types pushing this and telling southerners what is wrong to fly or wear.

No it is the northern elitist and ignorant which are still fighting the war.

If recognizing the realities of life back in the 1800s is racism so severe that it must be censored, then every school history book needs to be erased. Every college course in the history department must be banned.
