> But then some good angel puts it into the head of a Boston preacher to read your book and take it to the Boston police, and the police go and arrest a bookclerk for selling your book, which is obscene.

This reminds me of Harrison Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College a couple of weeks ago.
This was a speech by a fairly obscure guy (he is a place kicker) at a fairly obscure college. But because he said something our culture considers obscene, his speech was on the front page of all the news sites and talked about on Twitter.
Normally, maybe a few hundred people would have heard his speech. Now likely millions of people have at least heard a portion of his speech.
