These articles are great reads!

American Library Association(ALA) is the worlds largest group of librarians with 64,000 members. In their everlasting fight for truth, justice, and the un-Ashcroft way, they have vehemently opposed Patriot Act 215. In Act 215, the FBI is allowed to visit your local library and show up with a list of books and have the librarian match the list of books with borrowers. In addition, the librarian cannot tell the press or the borrowers that this event has taken place. If librarians do not comply, they can be jailed. So you'd think the ALA would be outraged if a number of librarians were sent to jail. Well apparently they're not, cause those librarians aren't under the tyranny of Ashcroft. They're living in true tyranny in Cuba under Coma Andante Fidel Castro. Makes me wonder if the ALA really gives a shit about rights or just playing politics. Anything the ALA says about the Patriot Act is meaningless to me until they recognize the tyranny 90 miles away.
