On the subject of libraries again

[dewline]

A month back, I shared some concern with others about the state of libraries in general, and some hope that Toronto's public library in particular might prove politically - and therefore fiscally - bulletproof from the assaults of the brothers Ford.

Seems that hope may have been premature and/or foolish on my part.

Yeah. I think everyone in a large enough town or city knows at least one person who's in that particular boat: to quote a song off of the first Miami Vice soundtrack in a context neither its performers nor the series' producers really thought about back then: "money or time, so make up your mind!"

And we all find ourselves answering the ultimatum, don't we?
