More signs of the times
Amazon has a sex shop.
At some point, the disconnect between midwestern fundies and everyone else is going to reach a breaking point.
Ideologically-based fundamentalism and bottom line-based capitalism cannot co-exist peacefully.
Capitalism is the real 'faith' of America.
As much as I despise certain inherent unfairnesses in the system, over time it will ensure equal treatment for women (customers), ethnic minorities (customers) and gays (customers).
Cash is gender, race and sexual orientation insensitive
The almighty dollar doesn't care who spends it, and the nearer America edges to a corporateocracy the less relevant racist, sexist and homophobic belief systems and individuals will be.
Of course, corporate rulership has its own set of problems, but we can wrassle with that anaconda when the times comes...hopefully it won't be big enough to strangle and eat us by then.
