America is About to Lose One of Its Best Public Resource: Public Libraries

[polynomial]

10. Common community data and information

Is a must and a responsibility for all citizens.

It is a new idea for the new millennium to be able to look up important documents via computer. All such public records that are there in local communities not automated now need the physical observations.

A person having to go in to look up the future plans a community mayor offers if any is a real Democracy. Democracy knowing the truth in Local town information, including the current tax base, and all business that is participating in the basic community common wealth make a social system that is basic to the American dream..

List the resume of all persons contracted the community...the list goes on to the basic in local government where each citizen has the freedom to choose to make decisions.

Then America's mainstream media in an ongoing way belts out lies and creates fear constantly. What's interesting is an essay by JUDITH N. SHKLAR a liberal that has a striking quote about the fear liberalism.

The Liberalism of Fear

Quote from JUDITH N. SHKLAR

“Every adult should be able to make as many effective decisions without fear or favor about as many aspects of her or his life as is compatible with the like freedom of every other adult. That belief is the original and only defensible meaning of liberalism. It is a political notion, because the fear and favor that have always inhibited freedom are overwhelmingly generated by governments, both formal and informal. And while the sources of social oppression are indeed numerous, none has the deadly effect of those who, as the agents of the modem state, have unique resources of physical might and persuasion at their disposal.”

With that said " metadata" could be very important sources of social oppression. The Library is the citizen's metadata machine, Snowden may have proved that.
