But Sage... The Homeland Security laws already in place monitor internet usage in libraries. Lock a librarian up for life if he or she reveals an FBI visit demanding a look at the sites YOU visited. In the freakin' UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PEOPLE. First the govt clamped down on the public-access computers, now they'll do it with privately-owned machines. The noose tightens more each day. Little clubs like this which have to self-monitor out of fear of govt reprisals WILL be the way of the future if people don't step up right now and shout down the movement towards govt control of the internet. And as more govt rules are put into place, you'll end up with the song lyric database exclusively (no non-music-related talk allowed), then you'll be told certain lyrics have to be removed because of 'political' content but you'll rationalize it. And someday you'll be left with God Bless America and God Save the Queen in your files. Oh, and if the people here had answered my question about the lyrics when I first appeared, I probably wouldn't have come back. Mudcat really SHOULD be a little nicer to 'guests'.
