I don't live in America and the more I learn about it the more grateful I am. I live in a country that's infested with a disgusting political oligarchy, but at least that sort of 'I know what's good for you' attitude hasn't seeped down to businesses. I most certainly would stop buying there too if that was their attitute.

Anyways, I've gotten some hyperbole out of my system now so I'm feeling much better

Oh, and drugs are something entirely different, they're illegal. I'm not sure that writing about drugs is.. yet. Incest is also illegal in most parts, is writing about it too ?

As for my mythical world, I'm well aware of that fact, but if someone wasn't to speak up and protest we'd all still be living under kings and tyrants.

And Amazon is an internet giant, they don't need a store on every corner, the internet works differently. I've already asked where they outline the guidelines by which they restrict books internationally dependent on local laws and cultures, but I don't think anybody has replied. Are you telling me they should restrict their sales depending on what town or postcode you're in, that their system should be to that granular a level ? This case seems to demonstrate they can't even do it in the U.S.

They're well capable of catering to all niches, they already do, but retroactively and randomly imposing their vacuous, illogical and unreasoned morals on parts of a niche is something else again.
