So, by your definition, in carrying "Mein Kampf," they support the aims and goals of Adolph Hitler; by carrying "The Communist Manifesto," they support the goals and tenants of communism; by carrying Anton LaVey's "Satanic Bible," they support Satanism; by carrying Andrew Vachss' books, they support the elimination of child prostitution, slavery and rape; by carrying various translations of the Bible, they support Christianity; by carrying books on sorcerery, they support witchcraft; by carrying books about white supremacy, they support racism; by carrying Ann Coulter's "Slander," they support conservatism; by carrying Michael Moore's "Stupid White Men," they support liberalism...
Sounds pretty damned schizophrenic, if you ask me...
Point is, that simply because they carry a book, they are not giving endorsement of what they carry - if you are going to blame them in that regard, then why not go the full distance, and have them pull every single title that you disagree with morally?
That's a fair question, mhking. Yes, one does have to draw the line somewhere. And we live in a society where there is great disagreement on moral questions. But when something is so blatantly immoral, and may well actually lead to the increased sexual rape of children, that crosses my line - and a great many others' as well. Just like a book calling for the elimination of Jews, homosexuals or blacks would cross most people's lines (and, as I said, which I doubt Namblazon would sell). You object to the idea that society should have ANY generally agreed upon moral lines that should come into play in a situation like this. I do not. If but one kid is sexually molested by an adult as a result of this (not unlikely, given past evidence in these matters), the agony of that kid will rest on Bezos' head. Society, children and people with these disordered inclinations to rape children would ALL be better off without the sale of this book. Too bad that Jeff NAMBLA Bezos won't take a stand here. His moral line, if this doesn't cross it, is non-existant.
