  In the last year or so whenever I'm in the mood for a bit lighter fare than the thick history tomes I usually read, I've been trying to catch up on some classics, "children's" classics, I never read (in 4th grade, I was reading "Gone with the Wind", and the "Poldark" series--not your usual "youth" reading). Finally, I picked up the one book that drove my uncle, as a boy growing up in southern Alabama, to abandon the Gulf Coast for Alaska.

  Fully aware that many of these classics are being re-written to conform to PC'ness, I've found my local library to be a gold mine for unaltered versions. And London's "Call of the Wild" is a perfect example of a candidate for banning by our current Nanny Statists. It is brutal and bloody, and promotes "competitive behavior"--that which must be squashed in a world of "participation trophies".
