I guess, however, that they miss the overall point of safety in numbers. The greater the number who do publish works with the cartoons, the much more difficult it is for any of those “violent vigilantes” to make an impact (pardon the pun). As it is, it simply makes those who do resist more visible and more likely to be subjects of such barbarism. In essence, they have traded their own personal safety for everyone else’s.

How very kind of them. I hope they pardon me if I respond in like kind by supporting those who do have a spine.

I have no problem with their rights or choices, so long as they have no problem with mine.

Err… what was the question again?

We do?

Huh?

Ok, in all seriousness:

Personally it is a business and it is thier choice of what they will sell and not sell.

They do not sell pornography, that is a choice they made, they will not sell these type of magazines or books that carry the cartoons.

Again it is thier choice and a business decision.

We talk about freedom of choice, well they made it.

Do we agree with thier decision? Some may, some may not, but again, that is thier decision to make…not ours.

Now, if you disagree with thier decision you can make your displeasure known to them by writing them (politely) and explaining to them why you feel it is a wrong thing to do in your opinion and/or you can boycott thier stores….

The choice is yours.
They made thier choice in what I would assume is a business decision not to upset thier some of thier customers.

When they see they get more complaints or lose business on account of this decision is the only time they will reconsider it.

We finally agree!”

I’m afraid we don’t.

The issue is not whether or not they should be allowed to carry the magazine but whether or not the decision was the right one.

Of course, you knew that already.

We finally agree!

Wage earners in these stores should not be subjected to danger to protect a publisher’s ability to market a single issue of a magazine.

Too bad that Borders’ management’s fear won’t make it to the stores themselves, in the form of posters and hand-outs decribing the types of violence threatened by Islamists. That would be a breath of fresh air for these bookstores. That would be a nice example of Freedom Of Speech.

Can anyone else see a pattern with what is done with books that may not be of the same political philosophy as the management of the store I do business with. I now like to go into that store and ask for conservative publications just to get the sneer that says “Oh your one of them”. I also thank them and include the name of the book in the thanks in an above average voice and hold the book so others can see the cover. I have had and not always other customers ask what isle I found that book because they were looking for it also and I am more than happy to help a fellow conservative.

The last book I have read is The FairTax Book by Neal Boortz and John Linder if you have not read it you need to.
