Reader’s Digest, a number of
years ago, produced a book of fairy tales and fables. Inhaling excessive
amounts of secular air, the publisher indulged in the questionable business of
revisionism. Every reference to a church or religious place was censored and
replaced by a castle or other large building.
A report in The Washington
Post tells of recent revisionist activity. The website of the
intelligence-challenged National Rifle Association offers gun-slinging versions
of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. Happy to relate, the weapons produce happy
endings. Have the perpetrators of this literary mischief inhaled
excessive amounts of gun smoke?
