Correct.
The 80s were just about 15 years ago, too.

“ Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better?”

Well they need to pay the fine. This is the root of criminal behavior. They must be punished.

2023 - 44 = 1979

Math is hard


Was this the book returned by chance?
