Griz 1 Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 wasnt mark twain a commie? Mark Twain died in 1910. Years before the advent of Communism. He went bankrupt through bad investments, but broke even through a worldwide lecture tour and died out of debt. I know, I Know, too much information.... -Griz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Mark Twain- smart man. On marriage, he said "The f%*king you get ain't worth the f%*king you get!" Most of his best work is never seen, because he was NOT politically correct. He cussed too! G PO B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 wasnt mark twain a commie? Shit, if he was, he'd sure fit in fine today.

Griz 1 Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 "Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a member of congress. But then I repeat myself." - Mark Twain In his short story about Elizabethian England ['Room 1620' or the like] he writes of a lengthy conversation between Queen Elizabeth the First chatting with her ladies in waiting when somebody cuts a monumental fart. The first time I read it I hit the floor laughing which was inappropriate as I was in math class at the time in College [1964]. It was still funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smiley_Guy 2 Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Despite MT's admonition I must add (in passing) Karl Marx wrote Das Kapital in 1867, while the ghost of Lincoln was still looking for the top of his head. Long before the advent of the 40 hour week, minimum wage, social security, and the other benefits you think are your "rights," and he was known in Sam Clement's time. wasnt mark twain a commie?
