Degolar's favorite quotes
""In any case, fire burns; that's its nature, and you can't expect to change that. You can use it to cook your meat or to burn down your neighbor's house. And is the fire you use for cooking any different from the one you use for burning? And does that mean you should eat your supper raw?"
Maddy shook her head, still puzzled. "So what you're saying is . . . I shouldn't play with fire," she said at last.
"Of course you should," said One-Eye gently. "But don't be surprised if the fire plays back.""— Joanne Harris

I thought your job description was to provide free copies of "Dude, Where's My Car?" and someplace to play Dance Dance Revolution. Since when is a public library about "ideas"?
I am so going to regret this comment.
rertgant, n. Someone who begins or revives a controversy, say by making a provocative blog comment, and then immediately regrets doing so.
:-) You don't think the idea that libraries are just about "Dude, Where's My Car?" and Dance Dance Revolution is a dangerous one?
Touche.
