Something New

I have a few friends who blog and I often find myself reading these, almost religously.  I had to ask myself, "Why are they so interesting?"  I figured it out!  These friends aren't extra special.  They aren't doing the unimaginable.  They don't go and party with famous people.  These friends are regular people who talk about regular things.  So, why can't I do it also? 

For my first official blog posting, I need to get something off my chest.
"Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain is a great American classic novel.  People have decided that since this amazing piece of liturature uses the "n word" it needs to be changed.  THAT IS HOW IT WAS THEN, FOLKS!  What are you going to do next?  Put clothes on Michaelangelo's David?  I think not!  How are our children supposed to know how life has changed if we continue to cover up our own history?  How are they supposed to appreciate greatness if we insist on changing it to become more "politically correct"?  I will be hitting up a bookstore on my way home from work today.  When my children are required to read "Huckleberry Finn" for school, I will hand them a copy that hasn't been changed.  My children may have questions about the language used, but I will not shy away from them.  My children will ultimately receive the education in which I believe they deserve.
