I find it odd that people who are so enamored of 'parent's rights' only want their views taken into consideration when it comes to collection development in libraries and not the views of parents who may be a bit more progressive than them.

In a half-asleep state last night my brain started putting together a movie about frontline library staff.
Eventually I realized that I was just redoing Kevin Smith's Clerks but in a library

Nationalism is dangerous.
G.K. Chesterton said it best:
‘My country, right or wrong,’ is a thing that no patriot would think of saying. It is like saying, ‘My mother, drunk or sober.’

One of the many things I find weird is that some people fly the confederate battle flag on their property. Each time I see one I think "We are in Kansas, why, in a state where the Free Staters won, do you want to identify with the losing side?" I don't say anything because most people here have guns

White privilege means you can claim to be 'apolitical' and 'neutral' and no-one will demand that you disavow racists and other people that spew hatred that happen to look like you, because white folk are not responsible for the actions of other white people

One of the hasbara reasons given by Israel that it is not an apartheid regime is that it has Arab representation in the Knesset.
Did you know that the Tricameral Parliament of apartheid South Africa also gave a limited political voice to the country's Coloured and Indian populations.
