Library Aid(e) issue

[Jeff Kirkpatrick <jeffkirk@SNI.NET>]

        While there are myriad considerations in and for the library
staffing issue, the crux remains as follows:

        Putting a flight attendant in the cockpit under emergency
circumstances is expedient and appropriate.  Placing them there as a matter
of course is grossly negligent--is stupid.

                                     AND

        The individual which fails to step forward to share his/her gifts
with a world in need is the passenger, trained in flying, who fails to step
forward to take control, in the absence of a pilot.
        The crash is inevitable when we presume to be here merely for the ride.


        In any event, be it a professional, a para-professional, a
politician or a drunk, if/while we find them in the pilot's seat we are
wise to offer them our utmost support in getting us--or would that be our
kids--back safely on the ground.

        Take care.
