My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties.

I'm not actually that opposed to having greater controls on social media for kids (within reason) but *all* the arguments for proper regulation apply to other age groups as well - arguably more so in relation to national security, public health, etc.
When you see the story
about how the world

of supplies to test for Ebola,
it is important to understand
that in many ways
these are the same story.
