While running errands yesterday, I spoke to quite a number of people, mainly because I will talk to a fence post. Admittedly, North Idaho is a very conservative area, but I was still taken slightly aback by the number of ordinary people who expressed the suspicion that something wasn't quite right about the whole oil spill thingy. It does seem rather convenient.
The library has 8 holds on Hayek's Road to Serfdom. I have my own copy and was simply discussing what was on the top of the Amazon lists with the head of the library. I said it was sad that many people would have to wait 8 months or longer to read the book.
"No they won't," she said. "I'm ordering a few more copies along with more copies of Glenn Beck's Overton Window and Nelson DeMille's new book Lion. Thanks for bringing this to my attention."
I love the way we do things in North Idaho.
