"Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do
not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because
I want to be a man." - Fyodor Dostoevsky
"One sticks one's finger into the soil to tell by the smell in what land one is: I
stick my finger in existence — it smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? How came
I here? What is this thing called the world? What does this world mean? Who is it
that has lured me into the world? Why was I not consulted, why not made acquainted
with its manners and customs instead of throwing me into the ranks, as if I had
been bought by a kidnapper, a dealer in souls? How did I obtain an interest in this
big enterprise they call reality? Why should I have an interest in it? Is it not a
voluntary concern? And if I am to be compelled to take part in it, where is the
director? I should like to make a remark to him. Is there no director? Whither
shall I turn with my complaint?" - Søren Kierkegaard

Subject: A Dumb Librarian - An Example.
With all the information available to us, it is amazing to think just how dumb a
librarian can be. The First Lady, as I understand, was a school librarian, and
one might think, would have some skills in how to obtain information and at least
some influence on her husband, our President. And you would think that this person
could have advised him just a little about the facts of Iraq and its people -
suffering so (not to mention our military - vulnerable and stuck there). So we
have a monumental failure as a librarian in a very influential position. Can we
use this monumental disaster in a positive way? I think we can. I think it is
incumbent on us to do so.
