On the contary. when no library was state (meaning, taxpayer) funded, and t

Get your facts straight. The US has a library that from day 1 has been citizen supported. Every state (that I am aware of) has a state library that is funded by tax payers. Furthermore, Texas & Lousiana have had localy supported libraries and schools before they were even states.

Jim,

I suggest you get your facts straight.

LOC is for the Congress. Have you tried getting in and doing your own private research? It's not piece of cake.

Wrong, the LOC is for the people. It is there (originaly) to provide a reference listing of all documents published and therefore claiming copyright. Currently it is open to any legitimate research project. I have used it on a couple of projects in the past to research writings no longer in print.

Every state has a public library NOW, just like every state has a welfare office. However I have plenty of evidence that libraries in New York were much better when there were many private ones who charged patrons for use - which was the case about 100 years ago.

New York does not equate to 'all the states'. A more than trivial point in your position. Bottem line, both Texas and Louisiana have public libraries that predate eithers entry into the Union. Go piss in that pot you lying commie sack of shit. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make | | violent revolution inevitable. | | | | John F.
