      XPost: misc.education, soc.bi, misc.kids.health       XPost: soc.rights.human       From: magid@catsincyberspace.concentriccircles.net              Nick,       The public library is open and available to all people. You don't need       any money, there is no age limit (beyond the 5 years or having the       ability to write your name that most libraries impose prior to checking       out books). I guarentee that I can go to the library that is 2 blocks       from my apartment and find things promoting criminal behavior in the       children's section and the young adult's section.       I can *probably* even find the instructions on how to make a bomb in the       children's non-fiction section... I won't guarantee that, however,       because it may not be labeled in that fashion.       Freedom of Speech means that I have the right to disagree with you, and       I can fight to have your speech stopped: but I have no right to actually       STOP it.              Magi              Nick wrote:       > Barbara, I agree with your concern.
