Libraries Asked To Destroy Reports, Databases

This LA Times story talks about libraries being ordered to destroy existing government reports and data sources in the name of homeland security." Is it really a fair trade to give up readily-available information about "airports, water treatment plants, nuclear reactors and more"?

    Wah. Wah. Wah.

    Those who accept the challenges of the world and the idea that there are plenty who would and could take ALL your precious rights and freedoms away, are busy trying to protect your crybaby little hind-ends.

    If you were so engaged, you might make the same moves.

    You might consider thanking whatever forces of the universe you have some belief in that someone is trying to protect your safe little world.
