#ugh i know
#fuck the tea party
#i was at a meeting tonight where we were talking about political activism in re: the environment
#and we just kept coming back to the tea party and corporate interests in politics
#it's all fucking connected
#but anyway
#libraries fucking matter
#because no one has a chance unless they can educate themselves
#libraries are where kids learn to imagine and learn to learn
#and learn to love boundless things
#they're havens of smart people
#and the best way to encourage people to educate themselves is to expose them to educated people
#and make it EASY
#libraries are where kids whose parents can't afford after-school go after school
#and then they do their homework instead of playing video games or watching tv
#and maybe they read some books
#libraries
#fucking
#matter
#things that matter
