Here in the left border of IA, there have been several articles in the paper about how buying on line is "not neighborhood friendly, support the local unions and keep the money in town".

I have talked with most of the book sellers in town, and they all have told me that they "Don't stock propaganda".

When you ask them about the Dowd and Moore special section, they always yell "that is truth!". I now buy from small book stores that don't have much in the way of selection, but will happly order anything you want.

I try to do my shopping locally as much as possible. At one level, Borders is not a local store any more than WalMart is. Amazon gives my local UPS guy some business, so it all pans out.

However, there is absolutely no more sense in supporting a local bookstore that censors than there is in my sending money to the DNC. And if I REQUEST a book, and there's some kind of reluctance to order because they don't like my political views......you can bet that that store just lost a customer for a lifetime.
