    Went to 2nd and Charles over the weekend and yeah, couldn’t even get close to the Dr. Seuss books. Reason? It. Was. Packed! All the SPLC did was create attention where it had limited to none prior. It was awesome to see and reminded me of Tipper Gore’s inept attempt to censure music :roflmao:

    I wonder if she grew up watching Ed Sullivan

    Because "When you eliminate the option from everyone, you have effectively censored something." is no longer an option.

    See, back when censorship was a REAL issue - you COULD 'eliminate the option from everyone' very easily. That's no longer a real option. There's too many other ways to get access to whatever it is you want. A business can say "I don't support that - I don't want to carry it', and it doesn't really make that much of a difference, because you can get it elsewhere.

    The whole point of censorship, was to eliminate the availability of it. That's almost impossible now. 

    And in Fahrenheit 451, some people still possessed books. If it is not available to the masses, then it is being censored. 

  3. In the sports card world, centering is key. It affects the grade significantly. If that same reasoning applied to comics, I could understand the 9.8 chase. But a 9.8 with a horrendous fold or miscut/printing lines/any of that.. top dollar just doesn't make any sense
