censorship suit "threat"

[Jeff Kirkpatrick <jeffkirk@SNI.NET>]

Friends:
        Today's (4/30/97) Denver Post offers an article entitled "Group
threatens suit to force book's removal."
        It seems "the Colorado chapter of the American Family Association
has threatened to sue the (Pike's Peak) library district if officials don't
withdraw a Howard Stern book that it says contains pornography and
obscenity."
        Frankly, this is great, for the AFA's position itself is obviously
obscene (or simply hilarious).
        Just wanted to help you stay abreast.  (Oops! Can I still say that
word?  I might get filtered!)
        By the way, who is this Howard Stern (not that it matters).
        Have fun!

        The individual or institution which fails to honor and support
viable libraries is simply not credible.  For, a library, as a society, is
people, sharing in trust, for their mutual benefit and edification.  The
naive who fail libraries fail themselves.
        'Nuff said.
