Could you imagine how much the Right would melt down if the idea of public libraries were floated today? Holy hell.

Mmm… probably even if you told them that the first public lending library in America was one of Benjamin Franklin’s projects, and one of his many brilliant ideas.

You ... don't have public libraries!? I have 3. My Canadian town doesn't even have 100,000 people.

Yes, I misread it. I'm sure you misread things occasionally too.

Of course we do? I’m saying, if they didn’t already exist and someone tried to float the idea today, the Right would freak out about it.

Ooooohhhhh. Jeez, I was so confused for a moment. I felt like I would have noticed if they got rid of those.

Yeah, I hate it here. Give me the rez and all of the 900 people any day. Thankfully we're geographically small enough that you can drive anywhere in 20 minutes.

My town has 104,000 and has only 1 and it's downtown and often has homeless sleeping in the building.
