Issue: Skimpy magazines targeted: New resident attacks ‘inappropriate’ material; Hayden council passes ordinance/Lynn Berk, Coeur d’Alene Press
Crusader Amber Facer: “If a wedding magazine shows decollete down to someone’s navel, I want that covered and if the store manager won’t do that, then I can’t shop there.”
DFO: I empathize with this woman re: trying to protect children from seeing too much at the checkout counter. But her crusade isn’t going to go very far because society’s to accustomed to this stuff.
Question: What do you think of Amber Facer’s crusade?
