While I'm trying to limit my own LJ to the fannish, I will follow this kind of content wherever you want to post it.
I found it interesting when some of the information about librarians defying the Patriot Act came out and so many people were surprised to "suddenly" discover that libraries were these hotbeds of civil disobedience. I grew up in libraries - literally, as in as soon as I knew the alphabet they had me shelving books. I've always known better.
But I do love that the so many more people are figuring it out now.
(I remember a newspaper article on this subject sparking a lunchroom debate at work once, with me eventually forcing the other guy to admit that he was saying books should be more tightly regulated than guns. He was a retired Marine so I didn't actually make him cry, but he never got into a political discussion with me again!)
