    3. I wanted to let everyone know that I no longer will have an Amazon.com link on my website. I know that most people use them to acquire their reading material, but I think you should reconsider after reading this: ****************** CHRISTIAN GROUP PROTESTS AMAZON.COM OVER INCEST BOOK The American Family Association (AFA) is leading a protest over Internet bookseller giant Amazon.com's stocking of a book promoting incest. "Daddy: An Erotic Memoir" sells for $14.95 and is described as "a father's searing confession of...forbidden love." AFA director of public relations Allen Wildmon said: "This company will apparently provide anything to anyone, as long as the almighty dollar is involved in the exchange." The organization is calling on people to "politely urge" Amazon.com to cease stocking the title "for the sake of our children." Published in July by Boustrophedon Press, the book was written by Raul Schmidt, said to be the pseudonym of a Hollywood writer/director who was reunited with his two daughters, whom he hardly knew, when they were "barely out of their teens." He says that their relationship gave them "some of the happiest moments any of us ever knew." The 212-page book is billed as "a memoir of incest without victims." The AFA also encouraged supporters to protest Amazon.com's offering a book about sexual relationships between men and boys. The company said last week that its policy of "universal access" made it impossible to remove items from the catalogue even if individuals disliked them. ****************** Stacie Sweet Potato's Genealogy Page! http://homepages.go.com/~stacie_lea/index.htm ~~Be an organ donor....give your heart to Jesus~~ **John 3:16***
