In their hearts, I think the folks so adamantly against the sale of this book on Amazon are more against the book's presence than it's sale. They're concerned about the possible fallout-that Chrissiehttp://heartfullocats.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-80620292727334289152010-11-11T17:44:01.785-08:002010-11-11T17:44:01.785-08:00Wow!

While the material is offensive (remember Madonna's SEX book? I saw more of it outside the library being boycotted than inside the building and it was quickly forgotten), if it's not illegal under the standards set out by Amazon's state (which Gemini and Ichirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102088688833145254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-42912199556481468832010-11-11T16:37:50.456-08:002010-11-11T16:37:50.456-08:00This may be my favorite of all the posts I've ...This may be my favorite of all the posts I've read on your blog.

Many years ago, my Dad kept a box of "Catcher in the Rye" in his office so that every time a student (or parent) removed it from High School Library circulation, he could put another copy right back on the shelf. He was alway quite proud of that little battle which he eventually won.Christie Crittershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409348100826092353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-35949185938080919312010-11-11T11:46:37.390-08:002010-11-11T11:46:37.390-08:00I agree totally!
