I still have a library card.
Until they remove libraries
they can try it. my town is armed and legitimately loves its library. liberal hick towns are weird.
bay area california. not petaluma, but check out petaluma. that's a good example, it's where my dad grew up. when you get a good mix of rural and urban beautiful things happen. the people who don't usually mix, they mix. and those barriers come down.
Not OP but New England has many also
My proposal would be to turn Libraries into an Open Source datacenter. Wrestle back some control from these power hungry freaks.
this is part of why i donate to project gutenberg
Yeah but we need some actual Digital Library Rights baked into law so scumbag corporates can't just steal back what we license digitally.
