Washing a car, is like making love to a beautiful woman.  caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

It is indeed distastefull (mildly put) That said I believe Amazon is right to sell what it likes if legal.

Who said something like, I don't agree with you but I will defend your right to say it.

Censorship is something I do not like. especially when governments or companies are involved.

I can appreciate that this subject is a very very strong subject.

Possibly it could be used for good by tracking where the book gets sent.

Please I do not mean to offend anyone.


Edit: beaten to it.

This seems wholly inappropriate to me.......and poor business practice too.......Amazon may well lose far more than they gain...

The quote is commonly thought to be from Voltaire but is not correct.
It actually comes from a 1907 book called Friends of Voltaire, by Evelyn Beatrice Hall.

Voltaire said (thanks Google) “Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too” from Voltaire’s Essay on Tolerance  ;) ;)

To put some extra meat on that explanation, the words are those of S.G. Tallentryre in his summary of his attitude towards Helvetius following the burning of the latter's De l'esprit in 1759.  As quoted in The Friends of Voltaire (1907)

Amazon have gone down in my estimation since they started allowing any old Tom, Dick and Harry to peddle stuff using their online store, name and reputation as a façade.

It seems they don't care about the content as long as they get their cut.

Hopefully this will give them their comeuppance. Just in time for Christmas too.
