ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR THE “STAND LIKE A MAN” AWARD…..
DEWAYNE WICKHAM writes editorials for USA Today, and he’s mad…..two young men were killed in Baltimore recently, and
Bell’s death drew the scorn of civil rights leaders and black activists, many of whom took part in the march. West’s killing has generated no such attention.
And that makes me made as hell.
HAPPY 2007—A NEW YEAR, A NEW SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!
Your public library could soon become the equivalent of any old franchised bookstore, except it will be tax-supported!
Maybe this doesn’t bother you…...but if libraries are simply a place where you can borrow Oprah’s latest recommendation, and get your DVD movies for free, rather than pay for them at Blockbuster, where will a student “accidentally” find Hemingway, or get hooked by Poe?
As far as I can see, if essentially the public library is moving toward a model in which they’ll just doing what the market does, only with a subsidy from the taxpayers, then they ought to be cut loose to make it (or not) on their own.
