I have a theory that the internet is behind the pathetic trend toward
helplessness. I wonder how many youngsters consider going to the
library for a book to help them with a project they've never
attempted. Does anyone even notice that there are shelves full of
books as you walk into Home Depot or Lowe's?


BOOKS? In a LIBRARY? How quaint.

Mine has hand puppets, games, wall art, toys, videos, and a few other odds
and ends.

They do have a spinner rack containing historical romances ("bodice
rippers") with a sign: "Leave two, take two".

Libraries have abrogated their classical role as repositories of
information. Most should be burnt to the ground and the ashes scattered.
Not to worry, you won't be burning books!

To be even more topical, there are libraries in Berkeley that loans tools
(power saws, pressure washers, ladders, post hole diggers, etc.). Buncha
goddamn communists, you ask me.



If that's how things are where you live, it's because of YOU.
