I plan on discussing this on the next showA new edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn omits a racial epithet that has caused controversy since the book took its place decades ago on the shelf of great American literature. In place of the word n — - — - -, which appears 219 times in Twain's text, the word "slave" will be substituted in a combined edition of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, to be published next month by NewSouth Books.

Re: Hucked Finn
I think they're going too far by reworking a piece of classic literature like that. I personally think it takes away from the style of Twain, as this is the language of that day. I don't believe it was meant to be racist. I think this is going to be as much of a potential fail as Hillbilly Moe trying to be politically correct at a feminist rally. What's next, Glen Beck as president?Bone wrote:With the big discussions I am interested in what you our much beloved listeners think on this subject:

Btw Glenn Beck doesn't have a radio show anymore. He is losing supporters.
Difference between porn store and sex shop:
Sex is what you do with your socially awkward partner, porn is what better looking people (than you) get payed to do.
