Do all the folks eager to buy up Dr. Seuss realize its all pretty liberal in outlook? And that they are giving the money to the people who actually made the decision to pull six of the books? If I'm a Seuss heir, I say, hey, it really pays to pull the books we think do the least for his legacy, we boost sales of all the rest, and I'd start making this a regular event.

This is the marketplace of ideas working. These buyers don’t realize they’re buying unnecessarily.
It also proves the rule that if you want to sell a lot of something, tell someone he might not be able to, or shouldn’t, buy it.
“Alcohol is bad. And never smoke pot.”
“Right, mom. Certainly won’t do that.”
Is the natural impulse to indulge in taboo the cure for this moral panic?
