: I'm all for making government much smaller, but privatizing the NLS arm of
: the LOC is probably not the best case scenario. People would have to pay,
: not an issue for gainfully employed people but certainly a problem for the
: 70% unemployed folks already on a low income. Me, I'm really not sure why
: the BARD site is down. Skeleton crews consist of at least a few IT staff,
: and it seems odd there is not a single person who can keep an eye on the
: servers. Then again, the government is dumb enough to try to rope off
: national monuments here in DC that can easily be accessed outside. Red,
: blue, they're all a little cray cray.

: Good evening everyone,
:
:    Perhaps it's time to privatize the NLS making it immune to government
: shutdowns in the future. Bookshare.org and BLIO are our shining stars 
during
: this time so we need not be without books to read.
