Stealing from ursulav, we have "Fourth Amendment to the WHAT?"

Of course, take a look at the book security tried to confiscate, and tell me he shouldn't be embarassed to admit he bought it in the first place.

Holy crap.

And it just so happens that right now, I'm writing a reader's guide to Fahrenheit 451...

The mind boggles. Or it would, if this kind of bullshit weren't so depressingly familiar.

I'm still boggling over the fact that somebody not only bought an Exalted book and carried it somewhere, but actually admitted to owning it and tried to defend it.

I mean, really, okay, free speech and unlawful search and seizure, but, man, it's EXALTED. I'd call it almost a fair trade.

I'm so glad to be Canadian.

Hey, that's nothin'. At my university you're allowed to look at porn on the library computers.

Of course (and this can't be accidental), all of the public workstations are oriented so that anyone happening by can see what you're doing, but that doesn't stop some people.

The 1st Amendment defends crap as well as high art. (Now, if the ferry is private property, they can do whatever they want, but if it's public then security was way out of line.)

But I like Canada, too. :)
