Got the same thing in Canada. DoRight sure would have a rough time with yer deponent. First a left wing socialist, then a sharp turn to the hard right by me. Once subscribed to the Thunderbolt out of Georgia. (By postal subscription) A J.B.Stoner was prominent. Had out Marx's Das Capital. Hitler's Mein Kampf in my wanderings.

Latest withdrawals from Library are the Torah (Only the five scriptures though). I managed to get the Koran as well. Taking the middle ground, as a Freeper. A great thing to KNOW much more about the subject first, whatever ones views.

Heresy here. The only thing to fear, is fear itself. The bigger the implied intimidation ,the easier it is for the left to manipulate.

First Amendment rules.

These same librarians fight equally hard to make pornography available to children in public-paid-for libraries

Most libraries, perhaps. However, at our little rural library, the kind ladies don't put up with any of that nonsense. I found a book in the children's section that had really objectionable language and content. I took it up to the counter and asked if it was mislabeled.

The librarian took one look and said this trash didn't even belong in the adult section. She checked it out to herself and stuck in the cabinet with several other trashy books. "I just keep forgetting to return these...." She latched the cabinet back up and went back to work.

I just love life in a small town!

If they're watching what *I* read, they're pretty darn bored.

"PUBLIC, means just that, the library belongs to everyone and therefore the papers are a matter of public record."

No, that is not true. Absent a state Freedom of Information Act provision that allow it, you, a member of the "Public," have no right to examine their records.

Similary the state/city library, has the right to damand a warrant before it forks over any of its records to a federal investigator.

I know of a couple of murder cases where the reading of certain books played heavily in the case, as the Scott Peterson case has the issue of what he was looking up on the web as it related to his 'fishing trip.' If an Arab wants to check out books on how to make bombs, I hope the librarian drops a dime on him.

This is BS, and I think the word, PUBLIC, means just that, the library belongs to everyone and therefore the papers are a matter of public record.

Have you ever been treated in a state or municipal hospital? If so, may I have your medical records? Your position on libraries may indicate an undiagnosed disorder.

Congratulations. You have just justified Roe vs. Wade in a completely new way (no need for penumbras here). As follows:

(1) Anything not specifically identified and limited in the Constitution is a right retained by the people.
(2) A woman has a right to do whatever she wants to with her body, including abort her fetus (baby), since this is neither identified by nor limited by the Constitution.

Therefore, by the fact that the Constitution did not specifically limit it, the right is therefore justified by the Constitution. Theoretically.

Both the "penumbra" and the misinterpretation of English Common Law are massive botches in Roe v. Wade.

Unlike what consenting adults do, an abortion kills a foetus, which is a life that cannot protect itself, which makes it the legitimate object of state protection.

Since at least 1980 the left has told us that the government has been doing all of this spying on citizens. If I have been spied on for this long, exactly what am I supposed to be worried about now?

Does it matter? If they are, they'll get a charge out of some of the titles of books I read--classified as "Purple Passion" genre.

[stickywillie]

Alan Keyes reminds us that abortion is referred to in the preamble of our incredible Constitution.....We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense......and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and "OUR POSTERITY", do ordain and.....

lol...the left throws up all this smoke to hide their picking of your pocket and the destruction of your neighborhood. Never mind the crooks running where you live. Ashcroft is the problem! The Patriot Act is gonna get you!

If an individual follows you around, videotaping and photographing you at will; this can be construded as 'stalking'.

If YOU, however, are imaged by a multitude of 'public' video cameras, so that YOUR moves from point A to B to C... can be strung together, what shall THIS be called?

That one has been extensively litigated and it is uniformly held that those records are the business records of the bank and not the depositor.

Oh yeah. You're right. But its still wrong. ;-)

[Knightsofswing]

But we are forgetting something. Crooks DO NOT GOT TO THE PUBLIC LIBARY TO GET BOOKS. They go to the internet to get thier information. Also public libaries are public instutions, so thier records are public record. If they were private libaries then I would have to go with the privacy issue.

BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL THREATEND, DOESEN'T MEAN THAT YOU AREN'T!

They read everything posted on this forum, especially since the Homeland Security was set up.

The destruction of inner cities has been ennabled by this sort of leftie ABA rationale. Not too long ago the NYC police commissioner revealed in a interview that his policemen were forbidden by NY edict to turn the names of arrested, illegal felons to the INS. The left, the ABA and the ACLU are more interested in allowing felons loose in communities than protecting the rights of normal citizens. The result is that too many felons have freedom while the inner-city innocent cower in their locked up homes.
