: Some time ago (@3-4 yrs. ago now), a couple of groups called for the boycotting of K-Mart. At the time, K-Mart held "Walden Books", which is said to be the biggest seller of ADULT pornography in the U.S. (Although I choose my battles carefully, this is one boycott in which we participated.) The K-Mart Corp., without ever admitting the boycott had anything to do with it, sold off their Walden Book holdings--K-Mart's profits were down badly during the boycott. If you wish to boycott now, it is better to boycott Walden Books & TELL THEM WHY. In addition, you may want to let K-Mart know they did the right thing in getting rid of Walden Books. Another agency that sells A LOT of pornography is CIRCLE-K, a convenience store owned in Arizona & found mostly throughout the West & a little bit in the South.

to whom it may concern
hello i have lived all over the united states and i have seen many things but this is the most misleding statement i have ever seen.
the way you wrote this it sounds as if k-mart and circle -k did something wrong. Pornography is not illegal. Child porograghy is.
you stated in the title with child pornography and then spread the
problem that it carried adult pornography. you may have picked your battle(which i do believe in) but you really should pick your words better.
which leads me to believe maybe you just might enjoy a band wagon more than anything. sincerly ebatey
