It's enough to make a person sick. I'm so tired of the assholedness of politician who don't freakin' get it. You just don't take away the services people count on in a tough economy and say, "Too bad, so sad." It's the greed that is going to put us under, not to mention those who think they know what's best for everyone else, when everyone else doesn't want what they're offering. You just can't do business that way whether it's widgets or nations. It simply doesn't work. Why can't we just get back to common sense in government? Is it too much to ask? -Kat See what I started!

I wonder how much worse before it gets better. Will it get better? All republics fall in time. I just hope not in my lifetime. It’s scary and a sign of worse things to come.

The budget has been cut. The Director, who has a MS in Library Science, makes less than many of the people who work on the road crews. She has had to cut the hours of the paid staff, relies on volunteers to be the second staff member most evenings and weekends. She hasn't had the money in the budget to purchase new books in two years. They don't have the money to renew the periodicals this year. I was dumbfounded. To me, a society that does not place a premium on reading and knowledge is doomed. I don't want my kids to grow up in a place like that.
