Not So Nifty

Grrrroowwwlllll...

This kind of crap is why I wish the U.S. had a decent libertarian party, instead of The Immoral Mobsters vs. The Reactionary Police State.

And don't tell me it's some kind of "Bush vs. Gore" nonsense, because a Gore administration would be doing exactly this same crap right now. It's all about control; whether the tyrants on the left or the tyrants on the right have it, they both agree on that one aspect.

There are two phrases I keep remembering as things progress in this country. I don't know who said them, but whoever it was knew what they were talking about:

Those who give up liberty for security, end up with neither.

...and...

The last act of any democracy will be to elect a dictator.

Sigh.

it's not that they are going AGANST the fed law..its that for years they haven't KEPT a list of who checks out what book becuse of this law..at least that is what went on to my understanding of it. so the feds would have a hard time checking on someones list of books they checked out

To the best of my understanding, the law does not require the keeping of such records. It does seem that the Bureau can ask questions of almost any establishment during an investigation -- I wonder to what extent the federal funding of libraries plays into this logic.
