Hello, All.

I must say I have enjoyed immensely reading through this thread. I would like to add my own thoughts...

First of all, even if I don't like a particular style of work, pictures, sounds, etc., I shall defend your right to view, draw or listen to it. If I didn't then how could I honestly tell myself I believe in the First Amendment.

I agree with the majority here. If you don't like it, don't buy it AND don't you dare keep me from buying it.

I believe that the basic problem here is we're discussing a business' right to carry / sell / display what they wish -- i.e., their merchandise. Said merchandise is not subject to the First Amendment since it is a private buisness deciding what merchandise to carry.

Finally, I must agree that it is a sorry state of affairs when a verbal minority can change the business practices of a company. However, once again we must consider the business' right to listen to or not to listen to their customer base no matter how large or small it might be given the issue to which complaints are made.

Bottom line? If one REALLY WANTS it, there is more than one place from which it can be found.

It's a shame it has to come to this type of unpleasantrly, I must say...

Regards,
