I don’t see why having a MLS makes you an intellectual. I don’t understand why librarians need a masters degree.
My local library (Pasadena CA) finally quit coddling the homeless, and made a big push to attract the dwindling middle classes. The place is reasonably clean, the computers work, and the best sellers are plentiful. Does anyone do real research there? Maybe some middle schoolers.
High school kids could run the place.

Jesus was a closeted homosexual and political radical who’s real impact on the world was only because of later theologians choosing him as a poster boy for the world they wanted to create. You conservatives are so out of touch.

I have personally met Hippieman, and if he has washed his clothes with or without a rock, I would be surprised.

Hippie Dibby Library Man:

Hippieman does not own a computer because evil corporatists sell them. He is WAY above their standards and will only ise the ones for “free” at work and at whatever institution has them for public use. Also, he doesn’t own a refrigerator or any other appliance for that matter for the same reason he does not own a computer. He cleans his clothes by beating them with a rock at the local stream and cooks over an open fire outside.

Hippieman:

Um. Jesus worked for his father Joesph as a carpenter–and it was his won business. Hense, capitalism. Oh, but that doesn’t count because it was a small business right?

By the way: I agree with Hippie Dibby Library Man. I need a palce to stay too. Do you have anything to eat? My income is low, and I need you to be like Jesus and share your worldly possessions. Thanks.

C’mon man, you gotta share with me and everyone else.

Stop ranting for a minute and unlock the front door. We will just slip in and not make too much noise.

Just make sure that we all get fed and can use your computer.

Thanks.

Context???? Oh really. Jesus said to give up everything (rich man…needle…eye…got it?). That dude was certainly NOT a capitalist.He was an itinerant preacher (ie homeless) who hung around with lots of guys (hmmmmm) and prostitutes– and wore sandals and a beard (can you say “hippie”?. Modern American Christianism is a cult. Jesus would be appalled by their rank selfishness.

Hippieman said, “Why are so many Christians so right wing? Didn’t Jesus say give up everything (including filthy sucre) to “follow me.” I mean, the entire Republican Party ought to follow his advice.”

I say, hey man, nice rhetoric.

Now tell me where you are so I can come over and crash, man.

I am cold.

I am hungry.

You need to take care of me.

Just like Jesus would if he were around.

Please post contact information.

Library boards are like all corporate boards. The members are far removed from the shareholders and make decisions that benefit the board and not the shareholders.

We need a revolution now.

Don’t vote for Democrats.

Don’t vote for Republicans.

Don’t even for for Independents.

Burn the government to the ground.

In Public Libraries many if not all the important decisions are made by a library board. What experience do the board members have to have? Many of our board members don’t even use the library services? Who will be our advocate?
