I have to thank Hillary Clinton for giving me the opportunity to review every work of fiction ever written in one thread.
When Hillary says it you know it is not true with one exception: Libraries and democracy do go hand in hand. Neither one is good news for freedom-loving Americans:
Nobody in their right would trust Hillary or libraries. Fiction is the foundation for the tax collector’s governing morality; so it comes as no surprise that the American Library Association called on her.
One question: Did they pay Hillary the same speaking fee paid by Wall Street firms? Answer: NO. Defending fiction on library shelves is so important she spoke pro bono.
See this thread from 2012 for a detailed analysis of fiction in libraries. Note that the format was butchered when USMB updated the board a few years ago:

During a speech at the American Library Association’s convention on Tuesday, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton compared the treatment of libraries in Trump administration’s budget to Ray Bradbury’s novel “Fahrenheit 451.”
Hillary said, “I believe that libraries and democracy go hand in hand.

Since 1876, the American Library Association has had a stated mission of providing leadership for improving libraries in the U.S., but watchdogs point to radical shifts in policies that make the once trusted institution not only hard to trust, but a genuine threat to America, according to a critic.
Admittedly, a grain of truth can be found in a piece of fiction. The problem is all of the B.S. one has to wade through to find that grain. The fiction section in every library contains 99.9999999 percent B.S. That’s a lot of manure to handle looking for a grain of truth. You’re better off looking in your own life’s experience.
Just so there is no misunderstanding. I am not suggesting banning anything. I am suggesting that not one tax dollar be used to endorse fiction in any way. I would go so far as to take a close look at the tax breaks publishers and movie producers receive. Tax dollars should not pay to publish works of fiction, nor should tax dollars be used to store them for “posterity.”
