Quoted from Libertarian4life

Really? It's anti-libertarian to expect that taxpayers should be allowed full access to their own books?

You and everyone else has full access to the books at the public library now.  If you scan them then only people who can afford and/or are willing to buy the electronic devices will have access to these books.  Furthermore, digitizing all books will make it that much easier for authoritarian Statists to censure the written material in books.  
For example, by electronically blocking access to any portions of texts that might have material that criticizes them or includes material that they don't want people to read.  At least with physical books, someone somewhere can hold and safeguard texts that the authoritarian Statists don't want us to read.  
A true friend, supporter of LIBERTY would be wary of suggestions like yours and would do everything to keep the "holy grail" of all printed text safe and sound for future generations.

You are concerned about people not being able to buy the electronic devices to access books, but you cheer for making the same people pay for a gold ceiling for King Phillip, and stupid fancy  UNNECESSARY lamp posts on Erie Blvd, and you cheer for making the people pay for the taxes of the millionaire and billionaire political cronies of your dem buddies.


Why do you post that you are concerned about people being unable to afford an electronic device for books but you are not worried about people  being able to pay the taxes of the downtown properties?????


We all know, it's TOTAL SILENCE.   We know you won't explain the rationale of your concern about people paying for those devices vs paying for others' taxes.

“To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past so that can gain in judgment in creating their own future. Among democracies, I think through all the recorded history of the world, the building of permanent institutions like libraries and museums for the use of all the people flourishes. And that is
especially true in our own land, because we believe that people ought to work out for themselves, and through their own study, the determination of their best interest rather than accept such so-called information as may be handed out to them by certain types of self-constituted leaders who decide what is best for them.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“Freedom is found through the portals of our nation’s libraries.” David McCullough

“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right. . . and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, and indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.”

John Adams

Nonsense babble from DV when he cannot provide an explanation why reading books as a county provided service is more important than having roads cleared to transport medical emergencies, etc.

How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

How long will you claim that a county library, for reading books is "THE most important" service provided by the county, which your statement saying it is "THE most important" means that it is more important than services following a natural disaster, or plowing roads to facilitate medical transport.   In other words, someone can DIE because the library is "THE most important."  

The phrase "most important" means it is the top importance, i.e., more important than plowing roads to provide for emergency vehicles to get where they need to.


YOUR words DV, the libarary is THE MOST IMPORTANT.

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

And how long will a town planning official claim that a library is more important than emergency services, having roads plowed to allow emergency vehicles to get places, or more important than services such as health or weather disasters

Oh yeah, perhaps your colleagues would like to see the stupid comments you make
