If you modify a text, for fixing it to a more P.C. world (maybe I would say
a
world under the influence of a powerful nation with a protestant mentality)
is
censorship for me...
But O.K., call it "revisionism". Is the same thing in my opinion: you keep
out the
real word of the artist...

I don't understand... But Buck Rogers in the XXV Century (1929) bring to my
mind...

A bad joke, o.k. (buy a war bond for me)

A lesson at last... I prefer remember with Donald a humorous speech about a
sad time than drink for ever in the Letheus River and have no more memory...
Hey, I live in a country where the last dictatorship kidnapped people (men,
women, children) for kill them sistematically previous torture...
I can't forget...
