- Oh, how I wish this were true. Despite Blockbuster's quasi-censorship
- policy, which has been discussed at length, they STILL carry by far
- the best selection of videos in my town. For instance, they are the
- only ones with a decent collection of the classic movies of the
- thirties and forties, and the only one with a decent collection of
- foreign films. Should I not see these excellent films just to make
- a political point? It's true that there are some movies that
- Blockbuster doesn't carry that other stores do. But around here,
- the reverse is much more common.
