[Publib] 1st Amendment Rights

[Lisa Guidarini]

Public libraries are closing all over the place, though. Funding is going POOF, somehow.

And that's government money, being cut and redistributed.

This entire forum is SOCIALIST!! PUB LIB?? PUBLIC libraries!?!? All
libraries should be privatized and run by MBAs, like other private,
for-profit businesses. Look how well that's worked out for the
insurance companies and for-profit hospitals! With private libraries
we'd have our local governments operating in the black within two
years!
