Why do you need to reject Geisel's wife's (of 30+ years!) opinion too for your view to be valid? Maybe you don't like her because she supports Planned Parenthood? Check this out: http://jameshartlinereport.blogspot.com/2008/03/christian-pro-lifers-help-planned.html Quote:
The above reference is from a quick Google search, but perhaps there is more to be found for an open and inquisitive mind? Might I assume that your open mind already knew that Geisel did in fact make "Horton" to express his personal pro-life opinion? If so, enlighten me with a reference and I will offer my sincerest apologies.  Best, Kurt Last edited by kstar; 03-20-2008 at 08:24 AM.. |

Well, I love the story - it's one of my favorites to read to my son and he enjoys it as well.
We took him to it over the weekend and he's been pretending to be the mayor ever since. My wife and I are both Jojo. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit and look forward to it coming out on DVD.

 IMO, the tales should be taken on face value and enjoyed as such. I have very nice memories of Suess stories and still enjoy them today . . . as they are. For my Daughter I'll also let them keep their intended, IMHO, unadulterated innocence as well. Best, Kurt |

You have to look for his drawing of Asians. He was pretty brutal during WW2.
I think he is/was Jewish and he was against predijuce but he did have some kind of problem with asians Last edited by bt1211; 03-20-2008 at 10:12 AM.. |

His wife sounds like a real charmer. Perhaps if we were in his shoes we would understand differently. Thats all I'm saying.

Said the Cat in the Hat to the fish in the bowl: "They say Dr Seuss was a communist mole. His fine reputation they're trying to pinch - what monster would do this could it be the Grinch?"

I saw the movie last nite with my 4 y/o. I must say that I probably would have enjoyed the movie more had I not read this thread politicizing Dr Seuss. The whole time I kept wondering what barack or john would say.

I understood perfectly what you wrote in both quotes. I'm surprised that you've never heard the term "the good book" in reference to the bible. If you have, then this: Quote:
