I like stories with bite.
I don't like muzzling authors.
There I stand.
Buy or don't buy according to your taste but don't get in the way.

The thought of self censoring my activities based some sort of arbitrary "political purity" test just plain creeps me out. I'm pretty conservative politically, but the only way I know I'm still conservative is by reading and hearing from people who are more liberal than me. And I would hope they would consider MY arguments on various issues in the same way.
But unfortunately, there are people in the world who want to turn intellectual activity into some sort of mob action.
