Did the Huffpo or Donna Blankinship do the math on the Gates Foundation funded library study?
,----[ Quote ]
| It doesn't take a Bill Gates to do the
| math on this library study. Someone is
| lying.
|
| The report states on page 26 that "one out
| of three Americans 14 years or older (35
| percent) visit once a week or more often".
| So there are 85 million people in America
| who go to libraries at least once a week.
| And there are 16,000 library buildings in
| the country. An average library in an
| average week would receive five thousand
| regular visitors. (This does not include
| all the people who do not go to their
| library every single week.) If this
| average library is open seven days a week
| then it welcomes seven hundred regular
| visitors every single day it is open, and
| welcomes all the other people as well.
|
| Over SEVEN HUNDRED visitors per average
| library per day? Someone is lying.

The Gates Notes on being poorly informed
,----[ Quote ]
| Gates Keepers rarely read The Gates Notes
| as they are rather like many high school
| student blogs, but written by a celebrity.
|
| This one is especially facile. Bill reads
| Slate which he owns and he reads the
| Washington Post where Melinda sits on the
| board and watches TED talks where he
| appears. That is a bad start for someone
| who hopes to think outside the box.
|
| Nothing written outside the US, no foreign
| language publications, and no sources
| outside of print and video. It is no
| wonder he is poorly informed.

No pesky senators show up when the Gates Foundation advances its views

| "No pesky senators or members of Congress"

| of view. Go Mariska!

| A funder of the Kaiser Family Foundation,
