“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777
Just read a story that after Amazon banned this book (? - the author called it a booklet) about the Wuhan flu that Elon Musk took Jeff Bezos to task and Amazon removed the ban. Back on the 4th.
I'm mixed on this. I don't like their choice of content, but I think it's within the rights of a bookstore to decide what they'll carry. That just means fewer people will see it and will have to go to another book seller. The problem comes from their near monopoly on eBooks.
