Today's modern Leftwingtards kill babies left and right without a thought and they still get hung up on a word.

That's a recommendation to use it more often Fur Shur.

Our history has been taken away from our children and grandchildren , layer by layer, from sanctimonious "we know better than you" types.

My wife talks about how the statist thugs in her country of birth changed all of the street and public place names and completely altered school text books, etc in their effort to wipe out all vestiges of the previous society . A commie is as a commie does.

My childhood copy of HF was printed in the forties & is kinda a family icon. I had it with me years ago when I was injured in a car accident & it still shows the effects.

Shakespeare is just another dead white guy.....too passe for the modern ‘intellectual’.

Next the book should be rendered gender neutral. Instead of say “he” or “him” it should read “person”. And age neutral (read “time challenged”) and all references to species preference (read “biological unit”). Now to work on that title.
