   Some years ago I worked as assistant to a library Director, a very nice person, but very, um, yielding to authority figures. The head of the library board was a school teacher. One day the local paper ran an article unfavorable to the library. The head of the board ordered that the library remove that edition from the newspaper racks in the library. I told my boss, shocked, “You can’t DO that!” The Director knew, but in frustration, caught between clashing objectives, said there was no choice. I warned there would be unpleasant consequences, much more unpleasant than the article. Sure ’nough, a few days later we got a call from a reporter on a major city daily newspaper asking questions about the incident (no, I had no part of that). I was sorry for my boss, not at all for the arrogant school teacher head of board. This was decades before the recent brouhaha on college campuses, but it shows the sorry state of "educators’ " minds as long ago as that.

   Personal opinion: it might help if we stopped labeling things racism, sexism, ageism, etc., etc., ad nauseam and call all those things what they are: reasons to hate. Period. It’s all just hate.

   W. Shakespeare was the most eloquent writer English-speakers will probably every produce. His works were lyrical while still working the brain. And he NEVER sounded like one of hopelessly preciousness-illiterati mentioned above.

   How I remember “solving” the mysteries of life as a little one. The answers I arrived at didn’t really make sense, even to me at that age, but they were the best i could do. I now see adults around me arriving at the same conclusions about things i did back then. sigh.

    It’s not the money, it’s the POWER. Although the only thing they’re doing with it right now is puckering up for Trump.
