    But why do you care? It has literally no affect on your life.

    Maybe they love the simplified version and it gets them to read the original later in life.

    Why do you care? What do you get from caring about what others read?

      I care that a book I love is being stripped of its meaning for the same reason I cared when the shitty movie with Leonardo DiCaprio came out. Because it’s something I treasure and I don’t like seeing bad things happen to things I treasure. I’m not sure why this requires so much explanation.

        Oh well.

        Your opinion doesn’t matter when others are reading.

          My opinion matters to me. Much like your opinion matters to you.

          And possibly your opinion matters as little to me as mine to you.

          Funny how that works.

              First of all, I spent years disabled and would still qualify for disability if I didn’t take my medication.

              Secondly, I’ve never voted Republican in my life.

              Believe it or not, you can feel protective of something you love without being a Republican.
