Reply to comment by DancingConstellation in I read an article about Missouri’s House cutting funding to their libraries and it made me really sad. by poopmaester41

As a librarian I'd like to respectfully say that I don't think that's a stellar idea. But you're entitled to your viewpoint (that is, after all, what libraries are for...) as well.

No, rights are not created by humans or government. The government most certainly does silence speech and censors. You have zero sway over the government and more sway as a consumer in the market as businesses succeed or fail based on reaction to market signals snd indicators.
