This is a piece from Writers on the Range. Why would a federal agency trash its libraries? Jeff Ruch. The Bush Administration calls it “de-accessioning” their library.
There have been a lot of stories about this action. This is the first posting I have made.

Fantastic, here are the ground rules: No personal attacks, profanity, discriminatory language or threats. Keep it clean, civil and on topic. The Wildlife News does not fact check every comment but, when noticed, submissions containing clear misinformation, demonstrably false statements of fact or links to sites trafficking in such will not be posted.

Well this is just great. Yet another way the Bush administration and Replublican Congress have f*ed me over, DIRECTLY!
I was exposed to lead in a fire at a house I rented. I’m currently suing (on my own) the landlord, as I appear to have suffered brain damage resulting in severe cognitive losses.
The closure of these libraries means I’m going to have a hell of a time trying to get information as admissable evidence for the lawsuit.
Thanks a lot Bush. Don’t EVER let me catch you on the street; I’ll give you a thorough cussing out.
I guess that it might be time to rent and rewatch “Fahrenheit 451.”
This is just absurd! I woonder what these guys are up to that we do not know about. This administration will be the ruin of our nation-certainly all its environmental progress. This is beyong disturbing but yet Bush stays in office!
Sounds like al-Qa’ida in Afghanistan in 2001 when they destroyed ancient statues.
