world. if the person is a powerful person, then you become very concerned. since the foundational paradigm is what is at the root of anti-semitism, the principal reaction to jews on the part of those is we have to the rack power away from them which often is taken to the extreme end of its logic means to eliminate them which can take many forms, one of which is killing them which is what you find to be a common notion, a commonly in town wish and indeed promise to end the arab and islamic world. so jewish power is deemed to be one aspect of the foundational problem which is this paradigm about jews, but it is in some sense the crux of the matter. you're right to point that out. thank you, everyone. there is much more in the book.

8:56 pm
weeks. we just make the books do when i come. and we don't charge late fees on the book mobile because if she messes stop then you have to wait all the other two weeks. that is one nice thing. parked at the library. there is another lady who helps restock it. we are not able to do that right now. we would like to keep it in a secure locks lot, and there is no one at the library. to stock it i just fill up baskets and bring books out in my car. i really just enjoy driving it. it is a lot of fun to drive. it is a really nice bus, and i really enjoyed meeting all the people at the stops. i met all kinds of different people. one of my favorite things is to get to the senior centers when they are having lunch in the lunch with them. i like going to schools. the kids are a lot of fun. we do serve all lot of people

8:59 pm
people like tom mclean, you know, thomas savage was a huge name. -was from montana. william kittredge, walter kern lived in montana. it is really an important part of who we are, and i think it is partly because we are so insula. the last best space. steinbeck's travels with charley. he goes on and on about how much she loved montana. trash all over the united states, but montana is the love song for an. and i think the combination of a wide-open spaces but also the fact that we've had the amenity a you would want for a full and happy life. so i think that attract people. it is easy to work here, i think. i mean, it is easy to sort of
