Big deal. Typical left wing swill. Oinking and snorting over library books but no concern over the Feds telling us what size toilet bowl we must have in our house, the IRS going into bank accounts and every kid in America forced to attend government school if parents don't have the ability to get them out. This is all cover any ways. What the left hates about the Patriot Act is the CIA and FBI can now share information and see just who is paying for those trips "activists" take to North Korea, Libya, Cuba and other socialist paradises. Democrats gutted our intelligence agences in the 1970s because the New Left, which had just moved into Congress, had been funded and run by the Soviets. They feared exposure. And they still do.

And add to that, the fact that volume at libraries is way down, since the advent of the internet.

Forget libraries!

What we ALL are reading on the internet, is CONSTANTLY being monitored for keywords, which trip deeper inquiries into our lives.

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.

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?
