Forum –
So, Dr. Seuss books are to be withdrawn from publication, because someone is offended.
And Gone with the Wind, a great historical novel, is criticised because someone is offended.
But pornography is readily available to all, even if hundreds of people are offended.
Have we become completely mad?
The overly zealous protectors of our society are using our guilt over “sins of our fathers” to suit their own agendas.
How long are we going to be conned by them to undermine our society by constantly chipping away at things that have been such a big part of our history?
I say thanks to Dr. Seuss and Margaret Mitchell for sharing their great talent with us, in giving us such pleasure and knowledge of the reality of life, free of the madness that has become such a big part of modern society.
We’ve all got the message that there has been a lot of pain and injustice in the past, and we have to make changes.
We certainly can’t change the past, but don’t make us victims of guilt by attempting to negate our past – it’s our story!
No wonder we are becoming reliant on artificial intelligence because it seems that each day we are losing more of our own.
