1. I am going to have to make some changes...

I will have to sell my car, stop eating cheese, can't tape anything shut, stop flying, since I will be selling my car, I wont need to wax it and I will have to find a better beer.

I'm a city worker (library)--isn't that like the library belonging to The American Book-Burning Council?

At the least, isn't it a tremendous conflict of interest?
