I'm sick of all the hyperbole and nonsense in this thread. Some people idiotically persist in saying that they are somehow fighting against the evils of censorship, when CENSORSHIP IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE. No law prevents this book from existing, no one has thrown the author in jail for his writings, no government bureaucrat or legislator has suggested new regulations or introduced a law, no one but the consumers have pressured Amazon. There is no censorship issue here.
There is a stupid book that is offensive to common sense and common decency. Amazon allowed some admitted nutcase to foist it on the public, tried to defend the indefensible by hiding behind the First Amendment, and when that didn't work, Amazon pulled the book.
And this is a problem for some people? This is a descent down a slippery slope to book burnings and witch hunts? What nonsense.
I'm outta here. This is too much farce for me.
