What a waste of money to have a library that is so big that there have to be security guards and it can't truly be used the way that it should be.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647772816326018516.post-68214706884163279602012-01-09T11:07:34.408-08:002012-01-09T11:07:34.408-08:00GO MOLLY!

Molly was sitting down here mad...This is Peter....<br /><br />Molly was sitting down here mad as hell and telling me about your post. After hearing about it I want to share an incident that happened in Bodega Bay. Molly and the kids were up by the marina office in the evening and the children were playing with the dock carts. One of the Security Guards came up and told Molly that the the kids playing with the carts was not an "authorized" use of them. I got see my 5'2" wife get in the face of the 6'+ guard, she asked him, "can you show me the list of authorized uses?" to which he muttered something about not having a list (she totally caught him off guard). Then she started explaining to him (in a very elevated voice), that if there is no list then how can the children playing with them be "unauthorized" and that he needed to stop making things up to make his personal objection sound like it had some sort of authority behind it. By the time she got done with him he was apologizing profusely and asking politely if the kids won't play with the carts as he didn't think it was a good idea. In Molly's defense he did catch her at the wrong time of the month; but never the less I think that guy is going to think twice before confronting a parent about their children being children again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881563990007134800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647772816326018516.post-60062492486783701302012-01-06T18:47:38.740-08:002012-01-06T18:47:38.740-08:00I know that angry feeling you felt! I'm becomi...I know that angry feeling you felt! I'm becoming more and more convinced that America hates children and prefers zombies. My kids can be running and laughing, just being kids and someone will yell at me to control them. What?! They have destroyed nothing, hurt nothing! I'm ready for a third world country where they'll have more freedom to run than they ever will here. Freedom to skin their knee, fall off their bike, explore around the next corner... (you mean my kids can't turn over rocks without me overseeing it?!) Each new safety law is another strand of barbwire keeping children from learning & experiencing life. Not only are the laws adding more wire, they are shrinking the pasture. Sure your kids can free-range, but just right here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881563990007134800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647772816326018516.post-84468471460618995162012-01-05T15:02:50.191-08:002012-01-05T15:02:50.191-08:00The library is gorgeous. but, with a $38 million ...The library is gorgeous. but, with a $38 million "investment" comes the security. Too bad for your kids. I'm with you about police state...it probably won't get any better if we don't stand up for our liberties!
