No fear. Public libraries do not charge beyond a certain amount and a certain time period. When, as in this case, they say that they have "waived" the accumulated fines, it is just for show.
I doubt that patron after patron after patron got so excited at having their meal paid for by a stranger that they just had to do the same thing. Unless, that is, the staff told them what was going on.
Most people, upon learning that their bill was covered, would smile, feel happy, and leave.
A solution to anthropogenic global warming exists, but it is almost never mentioned. And until that solution is addressed, all other 'solutions' are merely so much water treading.
Pollution, diminishing resources, mass extinctions, global warming- all of our efforts in these areas will come to naught if the human population cannot be reduced rather dramatically.
By 2100, the population of the USA will be nearly a billion due to unlawful immigration. At CURRENT rates of fertility, by 2250, the world population would theoretically be 230 trillion, an impossible number; there is not enough carbon in this galaxy. And yet, people like Pat Robertson say that Texas alone can easily and comfortably accommodate 14-20 billion people, so what is the problem? A radio preacher said the other day that people need no more than a few square yards of living space, and the world can support therefore hundreds of billions easily.
If we are not willing to control population growth now, in reasonable and decent ways, then by sheer necessity, totalitarian governments will replace all other forms of governing if a nation wishes to survive the nightmare that the Earth will become. And they will make China's current policy look benign in comparison. Maybe even the Nazi's approach will inspire nostalgia.
Children creeping around a bed at night looking for a breast to suckle? And when full, they just rolled over and slept again till the next urge to suckle?
Ummm, like, "woo", man.
