Few seventh graders will understand Huckleberry Finn. It's over the heads of many adults--maybe most.

If that's true the government indoctrination centers and parenting today, are even worse than I thought. Are you making a personal statement here? I don't know of anyone I'm aquainted with that this would exceed their understanding, young or old.

But then again, I don't suffer the company of fools.

Most public presentations of Huck--movies, drawings, etc--describe a harmless, cute little boy with freckles. Huck is nothing like that; he is an epic hero. His truth is profound, subversive, and threatening, and he is bowlerized as a defense against it.

Then either you are surrounded by geniuses, or you don't understand it yourself.

"But then again, I don't suffer the company of fools."

Maybe you don't recognize them.
