/lit/ - Literature

I agree that book stores are not in the business of selling books. Rather they have become a statement of the owners view on social correctness. Any books on conservative views are laid face down on the political shelf. But plenty of socialist propaganda is readily lined up with all the respect "good" literature deserves. The Holy Bible is in the mythology section or over with transcendental mediation and yoga in the spiritual health department. Plenty of fantasy filth is available to please the deviants or books on starting a marijauana farm will please the pot heads. The children's section is full of "Susie has two moms" books and is the typical open reading topic on Tuesdays for all the four year olds who's moms are too preoccupied with the free w-fi to pay attention to the reeducation being foisted on their children. Global warming and faux climate change propaganda is on the front table and "Abortion is My Choice" books are standing up on the health display screaming "just kill it"!
If i thought for a second that the playing field was fair for those who write books with alternate views, I might say that todays book stores represent a positive influence in a community. But the culture correction they are peddling is so obvious. They pretend neutrality on information but direct the customers eyes to the owners views on their perfect community. And please dont make the claim that local book stores are a "public service". That's what libraries are for. Local book stores have a bias and an agenda. Just admit it.
