[Micah] books would not exist without libraries[?]. Isn't it the other way round?
[Craig] Right on. [Arlo] Going back to the Library at Alexandia, libraries were conceived of as repositories for social and intellectual knowledge amassed by a culture, preserved in order to latch said knowledge, and in the era of human enlightenment also given the charge to provide all people with fair, equal access to information. This is done not only to ensure an educated citizenry for voting, but to prevent the rise of yet another aristocratic class (in modern times, a capistocracy). As far as I know, social public library systems have never "curtailed" human inquiry or intellectual curiousity, yet alone Dynamic Quality. Indeed, quite the opposite. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
