I pose to you blog readers: a question

Let's say that you are a parent (which some of you actually are) and your kid gets a library card. Said kid is under age, so you have to sign for them to get a card. Presumably (and I'll have to verify) you're signing that you acknowledge they have a library card with library privileges and that you accept responsibility for any fines, lost & damaged items, that are checked out on kid's card. Your kid, your problem. Right?

So, then you want to use kid's card because (insert reason here: yours has a fine, yours is lost, yours is at home, etc.) and they tell you NO you cannot use that card.

If you have signed something accepting responsibility for what is on that card, shouldn't you be able to use that card?


Edit: Sean suggested I post this over on Sapere Aude, which was actually a good idea. But, I went over there a few minutes ago, and it was....ugh. It drains the life out a person, you know? Prof. Bradford (who has earned and deserves the honorific despite what I think of his blathering) was going on and on about how evil the Left is (they excommunicate him?! Hyperbolize much?) and how friendly and inviting the Right is. Sure. Right. Whatever. Friendly as can be. That's why I see the Left trying to pass constitutional amendments denying some people things that other people enjoy? Feel the love. (pun intended)
