[WEB4LIB] Re: Censorship Sites

While you're there, check out the "Ode to ALA" by Karen Jo Gounaud,
President
"Family Friendly Libraries" -- but have a stiff drink or two first.

And don't forget to pick up a little what-not from "The Dr. Laura
Collection"...at least if you've got your blood sugar level under control.

Dr. Laura has been on a tear all week about ALA, and shows no signs of
letting up.   The main focus of her anger has been the link from the "Great
Sites for Teens" to the disgusting and lurid "Go Ask Alice" site, which
instructs children about bestiality, fisting, and other nice things.  ALA
feels this site is appropriate for 12-year-olds.  With 20 million daily
listeners, this is great. The American people are finally starting to hear
about ALA's porn pushing to children.
