"The issue is not censorship, not privacy, it's how to get the town to do what the citizens want instead of what a union of porn-pushing librarians want. Please learn more at www.plan2succeed.org then help us. Thank you."

Ah, yes, the tyranny of democracy (i.e., the tyranny of the majority). A true democracy is a terrifying thing, my friend, because it allows the majority to do whatever it wants to anyone it wants as long as it has the majority vote to do so. A true democracy is 100 people deciding that 95 people are not worth the air they breathe, so it's okay to ethnically cleanse them. You can keep your pure democracy. Me, I'll take a constitutional republic.
