Children are our future until they hit puberty

[samschoiceus]

It's unanimous: everyone wants the kids a-reading. If children don't put their noses into books, they'll probably stick them into coke lines and grow up to be Robert Downy, Jr. or an SNL cast member. But it's hard these days. Book prices are skyrocketing. Even the natural beneficence of caring celebrity matrons like Madonna is being sabotaged

Neither do Iwish to shoot holes through you, Sam Hollis

Have you(and the children) considered...you know...libraries or paperbacks? Also, if you need an Young Adult lit suggestion, you just ask Aunty Ang. (even though she's switching majors and this class'll do her no good.) For instance: Cry through Summer of My German Soldier Again;-)

I do not recommend libraries to anyone - who knows which government agency might be monitoring your selections. Higher priced books can force those strapped for cash to credit/debit card use. This, too, can be tracked. Our only available solution is dollar store literature. Don't leave any traces for the CIA spooks.

I seem to lack the bullet

My local "public" library culled me already. They decided to charge 80 BUCKS for people outside the city limits to get a card. (or, $40 bucks to check out one book once). I don't have enough money to be worthwhile for monitoring. Hey- guess what? THEY'RE READING THIS. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!
