No, librarians are just annoying, once they're politicized.

I once sat next to a Ph.D. in "library science" who assured me that she was in the front line of the fight against GWB's "fascist America." With a straight face.

So I asked her what her stance on Cuba and China was and she said she wasn't political.

You can't make this stuff up.

For sure, your one-case anecdotal evidence can be extrapolated to apply to all librarians.

Criticizing my spelling isn't a rebuttal to my point.

I know, I was joshing. If you're going to whack someone verbally, it's always best to spell bam right.

Perhaps you do not know many 'professional' librarians - if I started counting I could probably name a dozen - UNC/CH has a big program. It's highly politicized, predictably doctrinaire leftism, and has an astounding unemployment rate. Draw your own conclusions about the folks who graduate.

Assuming I accept all of your assertions I don't see what I can draw from it. Perhaps you could elaborate?
