This is a whole new area of profitable litigation for companies to pursue! 2) Its also intersting to see conservatives eagerly disgarding their principles in regard to local control when it suits their agenda. 3) Finally, I noticed that the examples of misbehavior in libraries were basically people doing things that were illegal in a library, who were then arrested. Libraries are now expected to act as police to prevent crime? The things they did were illegal. They were arrested and charged....sounds to me like things are working well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
