    Re:Priorities messed up
    The Clinton library was privately funded in part. In fact a list of donors has just come out. Several Sauds poneyed up a million each.

    But yeah, priorities are certainly a problem, especially since California just decided to come up with a couple billion to fund stem cell research. Libraries help everybody, stem cell research helps a select few, if anyone at all (it is just research after all). Libraries should have fought this tooth and nail.
