- Rich writes "Wednesday's Boston Globe had an editorial against filtering in libraries." From the editorial: "Libraries rightfully ''filter'' their holdings all the time. They decide what materials to offer and what materials seem inappropriate. If library staff members want to use filters to protect children, they should do so. |

- According to this story in the Concord (NH) Monitor, a group of library supporters in Sanbornton (NH), took it all off for a calendar that will be sold to raise funds for the renovation and expansion of the community's 100-year-old library. Called "Sanbornton Naturally," the project was put together without the knowledge of library staff or trustees. Two of five trustees contacted are delighted with the project. If all calendars are sold (at $20 a pop), the library will receive $50,000. |

- Thank you all for your feedback. The simple idea is the creation of ONE brand that represents GSR (Global Social Responsibilty) Brand is one of the most attractive & powerful forces in the modern world, it has not yet been harnessed and used for the good of all on a global scale. Brand is present in all manner of commerce driven cultures, it crosses many barriers and offers whatever it offers in a repeatable fashion around the world. Children from a very early age recognise brands, a whole industry has grown to exploit this reality. We too as adults are bombarded with thousands of commercial messages a day, TV, Bill Boards, Shop windows, Telephone kiosks and so on, we live in a world of brands. |

However, a democracy isn't always the best form of group organization within a heterogeneous body. What happens is that the majority tends to hold all the influence. |
