“Christmas Eve I saw a stable, low and very bare, A little child in a manger. The oxen knew Him, had Him in their care, To men He was a stranger, The safety of the world was lying there, And the world's danger.” MenWorldChildrenLittlesCareLyingSawsDangerLowsSafetyStrangerStableChristmas EveOxen Author:Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
“Wal-Mart provides a chilling example of the damage that low-wage, nonunion corporations can wreak, and their business model is going to set the standards for our children unless we do something now. Wal-Mart is the sewer pipe through which good jobs are being flushed.” ChildrenJobsExampleModelsLowsStandardsOur ChildrenCorporationsDamageGood JobChillPipeBusiness ModelsSewers Author:Andy Stern

“I claim that this bookless library is a dream, a hallucination of on-line addicts; network neophytes, and library-automation insiders...Instead, I suspect computers will deviously chew away at libraries from the inside. They'll eat up book budgets and require librarians that are more comfortable with computers than with children and scholars. Libraries will become adept at supplying the public with fast, low-quality information. The result won't be a library without books--it'll be a library without value.” ChildrenBookDreamValuesLinesResultsQualityInformationComfortableComputerLowsClaimsLibraryBudgetsSuspectsScholarAddictLibrarianHallucinationsInsidersAdeptAutomation Author:Clifford Stoll
