crap-solute power corrupts crap-solutely
there is no greater feeling of impotence then watching a student walk out with a book which you know in your heart will never return to your library ever again. You have no say in what little hands are pawing all over it, or what happens to it. Someone could walk up to my desk, drop their pants and literally wipe their ass with one of our library books, and the most I could do is write a strongly worded letter to the dean.
