Of all the institutions that purport to do this, free libraries stand virtually alone in accomplishing this.” ~ Toni Morrison American Novelist Civilization , Free Thought , Knowledge , Press , Skepticism , Speech , Wisdom , Library Ratings and Comments Reply Anonymous 8/9/05 Reply usha 8/9/05 Golden quote to read and remember Reply Bill the Libertarian, arasota, FL 8/27/05 Free libraries in this country that are controlled by the government simply cannot be trusted as unbiased sources of knowledge, any more than newspapers can be. The counterbalancing influence to "official knowledge" in the 21st century is the Internet. God help us all if we let any government entity - including the United Nations - exert control over the Internet. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
