Yeh, because the likes of Del Toro and Gaiman are dying in penury and know exactly what Poe went through. Not.

LOL, right. Not to mention that neither of them is an American (okay, maybe Gaiman has naturalized by now, not sure). |

Have I missed something here? Should they not have contributed? And why do they have to be American? | |||||||||||

Re: Boston Reclaims Native Son Edgar Allan Poe With Statue, More
Great news! And about time. I just hope that someone from the Cultural Police does not start a campaign to remove the statue for some politically correct writer who was not a racist, a sexist, anti-gay, and a scion of multiculturalism.
A case can be made that Poe was pro-slavery and might have supported the South in the Civil War had he lived longer. That is if you want to judge him by our present, "enlightened' standards, but then you would be a member of the Cultural Police. POLITICS, n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage. - Ambrose Bierce The Devil's Dictionary | |||||||||||
