On the one hand I understand that we have an increased need to protect ourselves here. But by the same token, when I read through this article, I get a real unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach.

All I can say is that I hope they don't check out my library account. They would find out that I have been reading books on the Constitution and that might not go over real big with some liberals.

Exactly. Should Hillary Clinton become President, how much abuse can we expect in the enforcement of this law? I daresay a lot.

But by the same token, when I read through this article, I get a real unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach.

That feeling is related to the feeling people got in the 30s in Germany when they'd hear noise in the street and peek out to see their neighbors being dragged away.

I find this to be the same as the "court orders" to see what books you've bought from a retailer.

Book stores and librarians complain about a request for this information but I am disturbed that they even keep a record of everything that I've bought or checked out.

Once a book has been checked back in, it should be removed from my record.

We don't even have to sign a card in the back of the book anymore to leave a permenant record of what we've checked out.

If the people with the books would stop being so nosey, there wouldn't be any records for the government to request.
