hows this for a sign of the times. and it aint a good sign

Perhaps I can offer another point of view on this subject.

What if, the publisher added the disclaimer as a form of sarcasm against the oversensitivity of the lib's there days.

People might get offended by "all men are created equal" if they think that man refers to the sex rather than a member of humanity in general. I never underestimate the stupidity of people anymore and apparantly the publisher doesn't either.

thanks for the info, I won't be buying their product anymore.

I truly believe our freedoms are in full meltdown mode. This kind of stance ("oh those documents are old and don't apply anymore") is being taken waaaayyyy too much on every issue. It's exactly how our rights will be usurped in the not too distant future.

The best thing to do IS warn your children, warn them of the types of people with no respect for what this country is all about, warn them to be leery of anyone claiming that their rights are outdated and not practical.

Well if it bothers then enough that they feel the need to add a fucking disclaimer, then perhaps they shouldn't be looking to make money off the documents that are the corner stone of OUR country..

What a bunch of oxygen thieves

My favorite part is that they claim copyright and say it cannot be reproduced without express, written permission on a 200 year old document they copied.

Yeah, considering it's public domain...

+1 this.

What's sad is that this mentality also transfers to basic moral principles like the ten comandments...

WTF,

I will make my kids read it. I have a full copy of it as an application on my droid phone.

I would really like to get it on a pdf and start it up as a mass email to be sent around the country.

And yes, I hope it offends some people.
