      I've about worn out reading "The Whos of Whoville" to our oldest grandchildren.

      They love that story and I just hope they get the lesson in it.

        Wow, just googled banned books.
        Little House on the Prairie, Babar, Dr. Suess.
        And yet Uncle Tom's Cabin is an educational period piece.
        Chuck's hypocrisy is literally world wide.

          Little House on the Prairie isn’t banned. Certain parts/words have been changed to be more “politically correct”.

          Improper use of the word banned in these cases is showing most people crying about it should do more reading to expand their vocabulary.

            Fair enough. I got caught. You are right
            History is best learned through a filter was my concern.

              That one short post right there is the difference between any of us rational, civil, humble posters who come on here to have a discussion or debate, and Chuck.
              Can you imagine Chuck ever posting such a thing?
              You do realize that the corrwect response would have been to call Blaithin a racist flat earther?

                Can’t expect any less of me. When I read Little House on the Prairie the word Savage was still in it. Of course I would grow up to be a racist 😂

                  64 DART max wedge?
                  Looks like a fairly recent pic.
                  What does the 5.66 on the window mean?

                    ...its a 64 belvedere. Now has a big hemi and is set up to look like the 64/65 race hemis back in the day.

                    Actually my username A990 was the factory order number for a dodge/plymouth superstock race hemi in 65. These cars would race against max wedges, thunderbolts, R code galaxies, super duty pontiacs etc.

                    The 5.66 is the elapsed time to cover the eight mile..(8.70's in quarter). The pic is at Rimbey this past summer
