I don't think it's fair to judge "The Giving Tree," which was written in 1964, by today's politically correct standards. I'd say there were relitively few works written during that era that would make that cut. It was a different society with a different culture.
Shel's poems were a big part of my childhood. I can still remember sitting down in my mother's lap being read his works night after night. I personally think "The Giving Tree," "A Light in the Attic" and "Where the Sidewalk Ends" should be part of any canon of children's literature. Any comments?

Anyone want to comment on how stable/usable USB support is right now?
Actually, printing out color money is illegal. It must be less than 75% or more than 150% the size of the orriginal bill in order to be legal.
The subject says it all...:)
