[Publib] Appreciated the posts about COSWL and ALA

[Terry Farley]

And this, my friends, is why I will NEVER be an ALA member.  These kind of people are in the driver's seat at ALA, and they'll never see a dime of my money.

I very much appreciated the following posts:
 
From: "Don Wood" <dwood at ala.org>
Subject: [Publib] Resolution in Support of Academic Freedom

Subject: [Publib] COSWL on Alito

I consider the ALA & the COSWL some of the last bastions of heroism and real democracy amidst an increasingly fascist leaning right wing government in which one political party controls the Executive, Legislative, and the Judicial branches of government.  

Here is an interesting essay about fascism in America.  http://www.buzzflash.com/farrell/04/09/far04031.html
