can't you say anything nice?

can't you say anything nice?

Okay, here's something "nice":
The local branch of the El Paso Public Library has been a god-send in an otherwise
miserable existence.
I can occasionally find a book or DVD to enjoy, and the people who work there
are always pleasant and helpful.
But, notice precisely such a public service as a library is what is currently under
attack with the well-funded totally unreasonable propaganda campaign about the "A"-word.
Budget shortfall my ass! Let the rich start paying more taxes and there will be no shortfall.

And let us not forget about the evils of El Paso's miserable public transit system.
There is no easy path from my residence to the local library. No easy and convenient
tram or bus to this basic element of culture, the public library. On the other hand.
I believe the buses are designed specifically to target Wal Mart, whose owners are
undeservedly filthy rich--and there's a service that the rich don't pay for, by the way...
