Listen, Smelly, I didn't include the Eastern Block in my sweeping
generalisation because I *don't* *know* anything about the east,
not because I think these problems don't exist there.
While, of course, I know everything about the West.

I concede the point about Libraries & self-improvement, though.
But I suspect there are people who cannot be improved by books -
illiterates, for instance.

All of which leads me to the following questions:

What happens to Public Libraries in Libertaria?
How are Adult Literacy Classes financed?
Who decides whether Adult Literacy Classes are worthwhile?
