[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very "we have always been at war with Eastasia." History is what it is and sanitizing stuff like this is absurd. Books are a product of their time and there is value in examining them as they were. What's next, should we rewrite the last movement of Beethoven's 9th because of choral lines about Alle Menschen werden Brüder that aren't gender neutral? Where does it stop?[/quote] Obviously you haven't been to church lately because a lot of hymns have been rewritten for just this reason. References to "brothers" are changed to "neighbors", "man" to "one" or "human", "men" to "all".[/quote] Nope. I'm Orthodox Jewish. There are piles of works for the last 150 years criticizing us because we resolutely don't do this. [/quote]
