That would be logical. Check out the message J sent me:

Thanks for your derisive e-mail, Mr. Kephart.  With regard to the opening
sentence, let me ask you a question.  According to the U.N., there has been
no warming since 1998, despite the unprecedented build-up of the economies
of China and India.  Some science is indicating that the temperature
variability has not moved and is within range since 1979.  How many more
years of non-warming do you need to see before you stop believing everything
the "mainstream" media tells you to believe?  While it is nice hyperbole to
use the term "banning books" that isn't accurate either.  We actually do
have limited resources.  My belief is that we should spend our resources on
books in English.  I was indeed a Russian language major, and at no point
when I needed or wanted books to read did I have the expectation that the
taxpayers should foot the bill - that is, principally, what Republicans
stand for, at least this Republican.  Cheers!
