The liberal library

[depechemodefan]

There is this old cranky man that comes to the library. One time he wanted me to order things from interlibrary loan and I was trying to get him to at least sign in with his name and password, since he wanted me to do all the work. He said no, it's not his job, his job is to make us work.

Of course, latter on I thought I should have replied "how much you get paid to make us work?"

Anyway, he comes back today and tries to find new books of an author.
This is the conversation after I tell him we don't have any new books by that author.

com: cranky old man
me:

com: who's in charge of the displays?
me: let me check...it is x.
com: I want to talk to her.
me: ok, let me check her schedule...she will be available at 3. Do you want me to give her a message.
com: I see you have a display on Darwin. (note: it's a book display). I want to know if she is going to have a display on Creationism.
me: Ok, I can tell her.
com: Don't you think there should be a display on Creationism? Give Creationism it's own time?
me: I don't have an opinion.
com: You don't have an opinion?!
me: right.
com: Well, there will be a new mayor and your time will be through.
me: What do you mean?
com: The time of the liberal library will be through.


egad.
Man is really cranky.

Just gotta love creationists. They always make so much sense!

So apparently Com thinks that good science = evil librul, and "not having an opinion" equals the same.

He's a creationist alright, and creationists fail at everything.

Oh Lordy! Dem evil libruls tryna brainwashin' us with dat Darwin science! </sarcasm> Idiots.

Y'know, I wish the creationists and the evolutionists would just go someplace and whack the living crap out of each other with their signs and leave me the hell alone, just as I wish the pro-and-anti-abortion folks would do the same.

I enthusiastically don't give a rip about either subject.

WHICH form of creation? Genesis chapter 1, Genesis chapter 2, New Testament, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native American (how many tribes?), African tribes (also, how many?), or Australian Aborigine? I don't think your library has room for that many displays on all these mythologies -- I'd say stick to the one that is scientifically PROVEN to be correct!

Off topic and fratching, there's a combo for you!
