Crazy Disclaimer Published in Copies of the Constitution

[rambone]

"This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."



Amazon.com: The Constitution of the United States of America, with the Bill of Rights and all of the Amendments; The Declaration of Independence; and the Articles of Confederation (9781604592689): Books

Just scroll down to page 2 in the preview.

I hate everything PC. I am completely against all of it. The whole "please dont sue us" scaredy cat attitude is apalling. Anyone with this weak attitude needs to grow a pair.

I do order a lot of books from Amazon though. But still, it seems like EVERYONE is f'ing apologizing for EVERTHING these days. Is there anyone who isnt sorry? Geez!

In 20 more years, the disclaimer will read "Don't take this seriously. It was made by men who actually stood for something and didn't want a government to tell you how you should act, and dress, and what music to listen to, and..."

I wonder if they put the same disclaimer in the Bible, Quran, or the Talmud
Maybe ALL books written before the assent of "The Chosen One" should be protected by such a warning.

In fairness, it is the work of the publisher. Amazon has previews for lots of books.

Well that really ticked me off this morning. Of course most of that is the sentiment of our latest SCOTUS nominee from what I have read about her.

It might be a moot point in 20 years.

I am speechless...

Maybe the publishers watched too much television and got the idea?

What was the show? 7th Heaven? where one of the boys read in an old encyclopedia in the library that "Negroes were of limited intelligence" and other demeaning things, he then wrote a report stating those "facts" and got in major trouble with the school. He also nearly got beaten up for what he wrote.

So maybe too much television?

I also like the copyright notices all over it. Apparently, they think they own the copyright to the texts of the DoI, AoC and Const.

Pc can kiss my buttcheeks...both of them. That is appalling. The Constitution IS what it IS. Read it, learn it, abide by it. No disclaimer necessary or needed.

There should be a disclaimer: Caution, do not read unless you want to be appalled by the trampling of your rights by your current government officials, as well as those from the last 80-100 years.
