5. I think owning the book so my grandchildren can read
non-revisionist literature is the answer, so that's what I've done.

I don't care whether the book burners are kicking my door down with the Right or their Left boot, or whether their intentions are the best or the worst, censorship and social engineering my manipulating language and literature is Orwellian.

Shades of "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451."

My grandchildren will read the literature in its original form, and they'll be told that those reading sanitized versions are having a lesser experience.
