SO as not to repeat myself:

Secondly, we can't hold Amazon up to a higher standard, it is performing in the free market which vouches for free speech. It can't censor, and I doubt it ever would. As pointed out either everything is okay or nothing I'd okay, fighting against these books just makes us part of the moral brigade.


I think it's best if we just don't continue this line of conversation.

I respect free speech but there are some parts of it that truly sicken me and that particular book and all those like it sicken me. Let us move on to other things before the mood is more soured than it already is. I'm sorry for my part in it.

Oh, it's alright. See, I am not apologizing for my statement or my stance. That's how I feel. Just like I understand your point. I'm just not happy when I do my part to sour the mood of the thread. That's all. :hug:

Mrs mermania's tacos are quite good.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Well, thanks Hurde. Now that song will be stuck in my head until who knows when.

I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down as the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
