You're an idiot.

Every book, play or poem reflects a time period. Even the futurists of the writing world projected into a time period based on what they knew.

So I suppose you can't stand I Love Lucy or the Brady Bunch or the Partridge Family?

[quote=Anonymous]It's so hard for me to read a lot of books written during the 1800s and early 1900s because they are so politically incorrect.

They say so many things about women and blacks that would be verboten today. For example, see the ones below:

It's amazing that people once thought such books were appropriate. I'm so lucky to be living in the 21st century, and I'm grateful for the social activism of my predecessors. [/quote][/quote]
