In the wake of the NYPD’s destruction of the 5,000+ volumes comprising the OWS Library last night, it’s important to remember: Even burning books can’t stop ideas from catching fire.

NYPD doesn’t realize that books are mass printed now, understandable given this level of pedantic fascism really isn’t, nor has it ever been, in vogue. Normally I’m not one to encourage conformity, but… this is the political equivalent of Crocs.

Sidenote: I read this and immediately thought ‘Occupy Wall Street has its own library?’

How Extra-governmental Schooling Works

This is not a difficult concept. Learning to shut up, sit down, and blindly respect authority figures should not be key components to any environment hoping to instill a lust for knowledge and a drive to succeed. Never ignore the casualties of creativity and innovation lost to socialized education at the expense of the taxpayer.

“Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal,” Immortal Technique.

That’s what I wrote on our Free Speech wall. c: Then someone wrote the next lyric below it (“This is the last time I kneel and pray to the sky, ‘cause almost everything that I was ever told was a lie”) which made me happy.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.
