Amazon.com is excluding gay and lesbian books, including serious works of scholarship, poetry, fiction, and criticism, by writers ranging from Ellen DeGeneres to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Michel Foucault, from its searches and lists.  An international protest against this policy is being organized now.  You can sign the petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/119673661/

In an earlier posting, "Wikipedia R Us," I wrote about the power of all of us to contribute to Wikipedia. WikiSkanner has revealed that "all of us" includes the CIA, FBI, Disney, Fox News, and other corporate and political interests who are using this tool for propaganda and, in some cases, defamation of character. Jimmy Wales should be giving Virgil Griffith a prize for exposing this----and I'd love it if Virgil could next turn his attention to mainstream news sources!
