Hey, don't blame the libraries. The stupidity is in our incresingly
litigious and irresponsible society. (Do something stupid and hurt
yourself? Go find someone else to blame and sue them!)
A university library near here was dang near closed to the public when
someone tried to sue the university becasue they hurt themselves after
trying a stunt depicted in a book (a NOVEL, per pity's sake) that they
got from the university library (via interlibrary loan through a
public library).
