Which Computer Books For Prisoners?
Brian D. writes "I've recently begun working with a group that sends books to prisoners in federal and state prisons. We try to match their requests as well as we can. One request that we consistently have trouble filling is for computer books. This is not for lack of books, but because the prisoners' requests tend to be vague and their computer resources are obviously severely limited. Keep in mind that we send prisoners all types of books — from gardening and landscaping to cooking and sailing — about topics they don't have the resources to experiment with. With basically one shelf devoted to books on computing, what types of books should I tell them we should keep? What are the best types of books to send a prisoner who requests a book on 'computer repair?'"
There is a huge difference between allowing adults
to be perverts in the privacy of their own home and
allowing perverts to reshape our society.
Go ahead, enjoy 3 guys and a goat if you like.
Forcing the rest of us to recognize weird shit
the same as anything else is over the line.
Regarding homosexuality in particular, the Texas
law banning sodomy was wrong. The Florida and
Arkansas laws limiting marriage and adoption to
male-female pairs are right.
Regarding other stuff, the nearly universal
laws prohibiting you from marrying a goat are
right. The nearly universal laws prohibiting
you from marrying multiple people are right.
