Object: Remember that library advertisement?
Remember that advertisement where a teenage boy goes to a library in
some other country and tries to borrow a book? He gets asked all sorts
of questions, like "why do you want this book?", "What is your name
and address?" etc etc
The ad went on to brag about how great the USA was and how free people
are, since, unlike in some *other* countries, US residents could read
what they liked without being spied on...
Now US libraries have to track what their members read...isn't it
great what freedom can do?

Yeah, but they're not ARRESTING you for what you read, unlike in other
countries.
At least until that new bill gets passed.
THEN they'll go over your history and arrest you.
But for now, you're free ... just watched is all.
Enjoy yourself!

I recently just posted on this but my posts rarely get read,

Your posts do get read. I remember you posting this before.
It's just that I haven't got a lot to say lately.
