After being a public librarian for 7 years I've developed a 1000-yard stare... And sometimes feel like the walking wounded.

I know a few librarians like this...
When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully—the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.
- Keith Richards
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
- Voltaire
Despite the meek, shush-shushing stereotype, librarians are largely a freedom-upholding, risk-taking group. In the name of the First Amendment and anti-censorship, they have championed the causes of provocative writers and spoken out against banned and challenged books.
- Writer Linton Weeks, Washington Post
I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. ... You think they're just sitting at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.
- Michael Moore
Those who burn books today will burn people tomorrow.

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Social Democrat. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew, Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
- John F. Kennedy
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin
A constitution of government, once changed from freedom, can never be restored; liberty once lost, is lost forever.
- John Adams

Oh dear lord, we just had to ban someone from our library for that this week too!!! *headdesk*
Now now, he made it perfectly clear:
>>Pringle told police he has “a bad habit of putting his hand down his pants,” and demonstrated for the officer by placing his hand down the front of his sweatpants, according to the complaint.
“Why would I need to masturbate?” he told police. “This is how I chill, ma’am.”<<<
That’s just how he chills. You people need to stop being so sensitive.
*Shakes head* I can’t believe he even thought that line would actually help his cause. And then we wonder why certain stereotypes about athletes and their intelligence or lack thereof thrive.
LOL… I thought about naming this post “This Is How I Chill” but I just kept shaking my head!
Ummm…Wow. Sadly, masturbation @ the library is a common occurence. But still, yikes.
I’m very glad to write that with all out problems people keep it in their pants where I work.
