Well, I think good people should rise up in arms and expose Bezos for the molestor-abettor that he is. And there's always the boycott (the Baptists have hurt Disney, e.g.). I'm sure not going to buy any more books from Amazon.

Good. You should do exactly that - I support your right to take such actions 100%. I think you should absolutely follow your conscience in such things. But I don't think it will have any effect on Amazon at all.

Nor do I, given the state into which our society has sunk. When I was a kid, parents worried about their sons' possibly getting a girl pregnant. Today, parents worry about their sons' getting molested at Church, or at school. They worry about their kids getting harmed from all sorts of drugs, including ones slipped into drinks at parties. They worry about people telling their sons that anal intercourse with a guy is normal and positive. They worry about people encouraging their children to cheat at school (50% say it's OK now). They worry about their sons' being exposed to vile types of pornography (and not just a naked woman) on the internet. We have a far scummier society than we once did, and people like NAMBLA-Bezos add to the level of scum. And I'm afraid, I worry about people like you too, for whom selling pro-pedophilia books is not a bad thing. I don't know if you have children, but if you do, you've got to know how scummy the world's getting for them. That's a shame, a real shame.

Actually, I think that Southern Baptist boycott has actually hurt Disney quite a bit. There's hope.
