How thrilling (Think about it!) that we can use Dr. Laura's own webpage to
refute her trash!

Here is the message I sent to Toys-R-Us.  Imagine if we ALL wrote?  They'd
never know what hit 'em!

Please rethink your cancelation of support for the ALA's children's reading
room.  Dr. Laura does NOT reflect the views of most of the nation!  You
sell toy guns, action figures, and so forth -- you can counterbalance this
a little by encouraging children to read and think for themselves.  I look
forward to hearing your response.

Very truly yours,
Chris Finer, Librarian...[etc.]

If I get a response, I'll share it!

There's no use going to school
unless your final destination is
the library.
