"I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the
violence of the  oppressed in the ghettos without having first
spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world
today -- my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake
of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling
under our violence, I cannot be silent. "

-- Martin Luther King from his speech, Beyond Vietnam:  A Time To
Break Silence,” Riverside Church, New York City 4 April 1967

##You know, this could be a potentially lucrative sideline for librarians.
##Anyone want to go in with me on a start-up venture?  I'm thinking we could
##sell subscriptions to government documents.  The best approach would be to
##sell them online-only, I think.  In exchange for $50 per year we
##will grant
##the user unlimited access to the complete array of online government
##documents.  As an added-value service we'll take their orders by credit
##card, thus relieving them of the burden of dealing with those pesky annual
##renewal notices...
