i have decided to boycott Amazon. They give up their rights with a simple phone call. Pathetic.
They are nothing but a tool of government. Government says bend over, they ask, "Is this far enough?" Pathetic. I have no respect for them. None.

Amazon is great. If it's in print (or even out of print) you can find it there. Their prices are good, and their shipping very fast. I enjoy browsing Amazon as much as I do a bookstore...and, of course, there is so much more to find at Amazon.
