[Peace-discuss] Save books, because you can't save kids from Obama?

[C. G. Estabrook]

Quite remarkable outrage is being displayed by people of progressive disposition in Urbana over the discarding of books from the local library. 

Given IT, such a decision is probably of as little importance as at any time since the invention of printing. But a friend plausibly suggests that the outrage is displaced affect, arising from our seeming inability or unwillingness to stop the all-but-ignored killing by our murderous government - or even to stop our chief magistrate (whom many library protestors voted for) from persecuting those who publish the truth - Snowden, Manning, Assange, et al.

We choke on a culling gnat and stomach a criminal camel.
