		<description><![CDATA[The price of freedom is vigilance; this sanitized version of “Huckleberry Finn” shows that we need to be vigilant now, protest (http://www.newsouthbooks.com/pages/2011/01/10/conversations-on-newsouths-edition-of-mark-twains-tom-sawyer-and-huckleberry-finn/) its publication, and protect our recorded civilization from “e-book evanescence,” where the “real,” the permanent and paper-published book falls subsidiary to PC-driven “googlizations,” new and censored e-versions. E-censors can try and control our collective online archives, profit from the gutting, sanitizing and repackaging of art, and in so doing, alter our past, stupefy our present, and control our future. This is not a tolerable outcome for thinking people. Allowing such adulterating of our common library, on our watch, without comment, is tantamount to publishing the censored version of “Huckleberry Finn” ourselves. <a href="http://pubnews.obs.com/2011/01/12/saving-huck/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
