viva la revolution!

We are under attack more than ever before. The United States government continues to take away more freedoms from its citizenry than any terrorist or axis of evil ever could. Soon, we'll have no civil liberties left. Privacy rights are almost gone (see also, FISA).

It's time for a revolution.

And who's leading the charge?

The American Library Association.

Another reason to flove librarians.

The "ALA's new privacy rights initiative is intended to inspire library patrons to stand with librarians as they fight to usher in privacy standards in the digital age."
