I grew up on these stories by Samuel Clemens, which greatly contributed to the broadening of my vocabulary and understanding of the world around me while my peers were still picking boogers and laughing at fart & pee jokes.Anyone who thinks this book induces racism, or should be barred from child studies, clearly suffers from shaken baby syndrome or cannot recall what a world without a Walkman was like.Just because an individual suffers from extreme overliberalism and a need to control other people does not make their verbal diarrhea righteous. Or gospel. Or healthy.
