Yesterday evening we wrote Amazon.com concerning the sale and promotion of the book, "Understanding Loved Boys and Boylovers". Below is the response I just received. **************************** Dear Mr. & Mrs. Ross, Thank you for writing to Amazon.com with your concerns about some of the titles we list in our catalog. This is an issue we take very seriously and we wanted to share with you our goals with respect to our catalog. Our goal is to support freedom of expression and to provide customers with the broadest selection possible so they can find, discover and buy any title they might be seeking. That selection includes some titles which most people, including employees of Amazon.com, may find distasteful or otherwise objectionable. However, I should mention that Amazon.com does not sell pornography or child pornography. Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain books because we believe their message repugnant, and we would be rightly criticized if we did so. Therefore, we will continue to make controversial works available in the United States and everywhere else, except where they are prohibited by law. Furthermore, because we strongly believe that the appropriate response to repugnant speech is not censorship, but more speech, we will continue to allow readers, authors, and publishers to express their views freely about the books and other products we offer on our web site. It is important to note that we do not endorse any opinions expressed by individual authors, musical artists, or filmmakers. We value all feedback from our customers, and I thank you again for taking the time to send us your comments about this issue. We hope you will allow us to continue to serve you. Best regards, S. Pederson Amazon.com Earth's Biggest Selection http://www.amazon.com Jan Ross jross@... http://focusontheword.com ICQ#18767082 "For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.
