Acts of Willful Fiscal Shortsightedness: Libraries, Archives, Federal Governance and Us

This particular news item has me worried:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2012/05/02/ottawa-libraries-archives-closing-budget-cuts.html

It strikes me as an act of self-blinding, self-deafening and self-amputation. Both short-term and long-term. It also undermines the principles of transparency and open governance, designed to ensure oligarchy and information control.

I do not like it. At all.

Birthday greetings for the day...

A question to my Kansas City friends
