Katie Couric commented on this problem of editing a classic at Twitter through CBSNews the other day, and I was shocked to think that anything so stupid as editing Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn because of a descriptive noun would be considered. Has this country gone mad? Is this a symptom of electing the first black man to office to be suddenly politically correct, and altering history and literature? If so, then America is no longer America as a free nation with free speech and a bill of rights. I am highly disgusted and distressed to think that even a video with a reporter asking this question is on youtube.
But here it is, and I intend for it to stay here so that it is a reminder of these "signs of the times".
