I'm glad you had fun, that's what really counts!
Politics.... I getting so tired of them as of late. However I agree education is important. If you don't use your mind you're wasting your life, just my take on things. I may be a little biased though because I have12 years of education post high school. It's a shame that there are politics involved in a library. Interesting conversation you had, and there are very many hurting and confused souls out there looking for purpose in all the wrong places...
Great post, and again I'm glad you had fun!
