Post #124,325 by gdaustin 11/5/03 3:09:12 PM Reply	Won't be in the library for 5 more years... Have you been to the library lately? Our library doesn't ever seem to have anything that is newer than at least 2 years.

In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others? Therin lies the true measure of a man.

Librarians are traditionally underappreciated - as befits the antiintellectual nature of Puritan mobs. In many small towns, and during McCarthy era especially [watch it, as it returns] - the local librarian was almost the sole representative of 'free enquiry'; most tactfully - a few overtly. I have some experience of just such. Maligning these folks is - stupid. Y'know?
