Well I don't think Mr. Motley has ever stepped foot into a library, much less does he know how much different things people use libraries for. When we were in the Military with three children our household income was considered low income so we used the public library always. We could simply no afford to buy books. Also we checked out movie for the kids to watch and the kids would participate in the summer reading program. The library was also the first place where I've have made use of a computer. Yes this was years ago but I'm still now using the library my husband and kids still have a library card to this day. I believe the republicans want to dumb down the public any way they can,just look at the college tuitions

Privatized libraries!? Oh yeah --- ? Privatized schools. Privatized Post Office, Privatized Police and Fire -- does anyone NOT get that this is end game of Deep Water? (Hello White Rose)
Total Control of Information, in content and in exchange.
We needed to have taken the seizure of the airwaves a whole lot more seriously.
As for the Present: Please make sure your neighbor and communities see what is at stake,
and the transparency of the same old game of Creating Chaos
in order to let the "Strong Hand" take over.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth. And I think that's even technically true, i.e. that it's not called a territory..

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
In my opinion, when Seton Motly used the term "whiny bitches" he tipped his hand as being a gay man. I don't think there are many players in the NCAA tournament throwing that term out on the court. Maybe he just hasn't come to terms with it himself. Thom, you were just polite enough not to have raised the issue.
