Do the Dewey

Well, i broke down and got a job in the library. After they effectively eliminated the position in the admissions office they had semi-promised me, i had to look to the bookstore and library. i had hoped the bookstore would be a go since i could really use the discount. Welp, gotta pay all the bills. Also gotta stash a little extra if i can for YAV in case i get it.
Read a fascinating article on women's rights and liberation in Afghanistan. Really hard to see how far left wing people can use words like "forcing democracy" in situations where they had the same women's rights struggles as the US that ended abruptly in the 80's and 90's with Taliban rule and went back to a treatment of women that was hard to find even in the Dark Ages. It's almost just as bad that the right wing folk can't even see that either. It's amazing how polar opposites can become so concerned with the opposing viewholders that they miss the landscape of real problems entirely.
