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>
