A book is not a luxury item.
(It can be, but so can food.)
Books are both amazing and cheap.
After all my years, I'm still thrilled by a new book.
Even a bad book is full of potential before you read it.
Read* more books. You'll see what the fuss is all about.

Public lands are just that: public, and owned by the taxpayer. Republicans want to auction them off to the highest bidder to pay for their billionaire tax cuts. Hell no.
