Today has to be short and sweet because a big project is coming up -
I just wanted to let you know that I heard an almost incredible (and at
the same time uplifting) story - the details of which I have yet to ferret
out.
It has to do with a brave librarian who said "No!" to the censors and meant it!
It seems that B'nai Brith meddled again, and the library's board chair declared: "We're a library, and we stand for certain things like intellectual freedom!"
There's much, much more to this. Tomorrow you'll hear details! Surprises never end!
It seems that Absurdistan has decided, at least in pockets of that once so beautiful and tranquil country, that it does not want to be known as the People's Republic of Canada - after all!
I'll talk to you tomorrow - but for now I'm signing off.

Thought for the Day:
"We must protect unpopular speech, so that it will have a chance to persuade if it is true, and will further repel decent people if it is not. Both outcomes are good."
