Comments on: DOPA Update http://librarygarden.net/2006/07/27/dopa-update/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries.

Because God forbid they actually use the little brains they may or not have between their ears once in a while. Oh well, we’ll see when they can’t get to their online stuff themselves. Oh wait, they got power, rules would not apply to them.

How many congressmen want to be seen by their constituents as not being tough on sexual predators (which is how it would be seen since people love to sensationalize). Even if they did understand really what the bill was about, I don’t think most of them would have the guts to go against it (though probably most of them are clueless about what the bill could mean). The name of the bill basically ensured its passage.

Very depressing. I can’t believe even my congressman (in Vermont!) voted for it. :(
