Very good essay, Gary. Direct, honest, pulls no punches, and works in some humor, too!

Am restacking.

Pithy, amusing and devastatingly written. I always look forward to your righteous anger. I was a librarian before I retired early - I could see the direction libraries were headed and I wanted no part of it. I see Carla Hayden was fired, which was an excellent development.

I remember when she was the Director of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore. That library was our voting place and she had a huge display of books featuring one candidate, which was an egregious violation of polling places. Nobody said a word (other than me). The American Library Association has gone Full Woke.

I was a member of the DAR after years of meticulous research into my ancestry...and they're now allowing men who say they are women - "Daughters" if you will.

I resigned from that, too.
