Some great arguments on both sides in this thread, but you know.. it's almost a waste of time because the conditioned emotional response is blinding. My last post in this thread will be some notes about ACLU/Nambla/Amazon in response when confronted about selling NAMBLA on it's site, and similiar books.
***
The ACLU, defending NAMBLA, argues the lawsuit is the same as if someone was killed due to the permissive attitude of sex, drugs and rock music, and then sued Rolling Stone magazine for creating a climate in which the murder was possible.
Amazon has stated it does not endorse "Understanding Boys and Boylovers," but insists "people have the right to choose their own reading material."
Law-enforcement agencies say they cannot do much about "written words," emphasizing they deal mostly with trafficking in child pornography. The FBI and local agencies have been trying for years to find NAMBLA in violation of laws against the sexual exploitation of children, and a U.S. Senate committee concluded NAMBLA did not engage in criminal activity.

So a new day is dawning. How far will it go ? I guess we're finding out.
