Right....gotcha.


Hmmm...which one would kids rather have? A Mark Twain classic or Lil' Wayne's latest?
Two different beasts. I think editing literature is pretty lame. Rap, hell entertainment, is derived from society. You want lyrics changed you have to start at the source.

I honestly don't care about usage most of the time. I don't like when terms are used as insults. It is all in the context being used.
