As this is the 'rant' thread, I shall post this here, then i shall be gone. I need to seriously think about where I want to spend my time.

Last night, after reading about that piece of trash disguised as a book, I sent an email to Amazon. The following is the reply I received this morning.

Now.....I see a lot of 'hand wringing' here......the "oh my, this is terrible but its a free society and we must have law.

Well, my friends, it is a free society, and we do have "law", for what its worth.

Yet this piece of trash is allowed to publish thru a world wide chain how to sexually penetrate and abuse babies and children, in a "Loving" way You think thats not what pedophelia is?

Of all the crimes committed by humanity, this is the worst. Yet.........what is the concensus? "put him in jail" "He's damaged, treat him"

Oh yeah, thats gonna take care of the problem.

Let me explain something to you all.......you don't "treat" these people. You exterminate them like the vermin they are. I want you all to think, instead of them, of the innocents, and the fear and pain they suffer thruout their lives because these people have a right to live.
I want you to think of the 2 month old here in Arizona who was penetrated, and what this baby went thru, and of all the their children around the world who are abused in this way, because no one has the guts to stand up and say "enough'. Some things are not to be tolerated. Lets clear these scum off the face of the earth".
So.....here is Amazons reply, and I'm very close to flinging my K3 into the trash. I just want to go throw up right now.
I have to think long and hard about how to deal with this in my own mind, because right now......I just want to find a way to get this out of my head.

And I can't.
