Bezos is a Bozo. The Catholic Church used to create best sellers out of routine novels by issuing a ban right from the Vatican.

One in particular I remember was “Peyton Place” which sold out everywhere within hours of the ban being issued. The book would bare warrant a PG rating today.

Most of my very large book and DVD collection may well be banned in the next few years.

I am a “prepper” in many areas—one of which was prepping for cancel culture on steroids.

My family got The Catholic Telegraph newspaper when I was a kid. As a teenager I would read the list of "morally objectionable" movies as the must-see list.

I remember when “I read banned books” was a popular bumper sticker, usually seen plastered all over battered rusted out Volvos and VW Beetles, right along with “QUESTION AUTHORITY”. Ironic isn’t it?
