Folks:
When I read this article in Salon, I first thought someone had
misread "libertarian" for "librarian" (not that they are necessarily
mutually exclusive) but buried on page 3 of the article was the following
excerpt:
The next Pioneer award is to go not to an old programmer or to a
lawyer at a think tank,
but to ... "librarians everywhere." Can we be hearing correctly? Did
they say librarians
and not libertarians? But it's true: librarians. It is an
unprecedented award, the first
to a group that can't be associated with at least a few specific
individuals. And in the
face of this -- this amazement, this recognition of the great unseen
and unsung core of
mostly women -- the fourth of our techno-heroes will find himself to
be, in his startled
heart, a lover of civil servants.
Boy, talk about stereotypes and "flame-fodder" :-)

Librarians in the news -- we won an award - an EFF Pioneer Award.
Where do we collect? (as sent to me from my husband)

This article is a lot of political mumbo-jumbo, but what's interesting is
that
the organization gave a Pioneer award to you librarians (see page 3).
