    3 observations about this Declan,
    
    1)  Its interesting to see a company promoting a lawsuit against people for
    NOT being their customer.  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.
