How is is respect for the individual not to let them make choices? These magazines are PG-13 material.
Frank Zappa, when he testified before a committie about the PMRC (the people who forced stickers to be put on CD's) warned that while it wasn't in and of itself censorship, it would lead to it by stores refusing to carry sticker albums, thus killing what they don't like. Wal-Mart (and some others) are doing just that.
The removal of the magazines doesn't bother me; what bothers me is the symbolic gesture it sends. It's a symbolic slap in the face to anyone who still believes that coporations don't own us.
