>From: umdesch4@cc.umanitoba.ca (Chris Anthony Deschenes) > > > So what is the actual implementation of this ban? I picked up a copy >the other day, here in Winnipeg, unaware of the ban, but when I started >reading it, I noticed that page 27-28 had been ripped out. At first I thought >it was just vandalism, but when I saw that page 29 had the last bit of an >article about the homolka trial, I smelled a rat. > Sure enough, all copies of the magazines in at least four stores I >went to had this page ripped out. At one store, the clerk informed me that >this was done at customs, which also explains the release delay. > I did find one store that had an intact copy, and picked it up as >well. > Something about this bothers me more than any of the legal issues >surrounding the whole Teale thing itself, which I have been following for >several months now. > Does this mean now that I am going to have to page carefully through >every book, magazine and paper I buy to make sure it is complete before it's >too late to return it? Where does anyone get off trying to sell me this? >Why not just black out the offending paragraph or so? Or just ban the thing >altogether? > You bet I'm pissed off! Anybody at least know who I can write to >to have these questions answered? > At least they didn't replace it with something entirely different, as in the Soviet Encyclopedia revisions.
