- Well, some police groups (and a few right-wingers) are *trying* to ban the
- album, but aside from a few local places, it's still for sale. You
- technically can't "ban" something nationwide in this country, but sometimes
- they do, or actually, turn the other way while just about every community
- bans it.
-
- Besides, more than anything else, cold hard dux runs this country. This album
- is selling, especially w/all this publicity. Ain't jack happening to it
- while that happens.
-
- Our 1st amendment is a good thing; much as I hate the Klan or "Little Black
- Sambo" or other BS like that, I don't want to see it banned, either.
