Conversations At The Bookstore
"I'm looking for Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Would it be in the the Political section or the nature section because I didn't see the book?" I asked after I looked around the book store and couldn't locate the title.
The lady who worked at the bookstore looked at me kind of odd and told me, "Let's go look up front."
"OK, but I didn't see it up there."
I had already looked there and all I did see were the Ann Coulter/Right Wing Nutcase people books up front. So we searched the front displays again. After a few minutes she said, "Hang on...Let me go check something in the back."
After a couple of minutes she came back with the book in tow and handed it to me, "I apologize. Our manager is a right wing nut job and he's got the book buried in the back corner so people won't see it!"
"Hey! I'm standing right here!" The manager chimed in.
"It doesn't change the fact that you're a nut job! This book should be up front too! It's just as new as your beloved right wing trash!"
"I....well....I...."
"Yeah I thought so! Enjoy your book."
And with that she and I both laughed and I went on my merry way. Why is it the right wing crackpots never can defend them selves when they know they are in the wrong? I guess no one had any talking points prepared for him, but it amused me none the less.
I can't wait to read the book! I've scanned through it and it seems very well thought out so far! I'm hoping to read a chapter or two tonight before I got to bed. Check it out if you get a chance.

It is the same way with the book store I go to. The witch is located right as one enters the store and they did not display any of Gore's new book. It is still in the box in the back. Only Clinton's book made it to the front.

This makes me soo mad! who do they think they are? As a librarian I am totally apalled. As much as I hate right wing nut jobs and thier books I still think they deserve equal billing with the liberal (reality-based) books. I think people can read them and decide for themselves. This is America! And what that manager is doing is censorship. ugh!
