[Hasso Hering] Beware the Uncivilized!

From an editorial that started off being about libraries, the last line:

Let no one even think of cutting back on that essential service, so important in our deteriorating culture as a civilizing force for good.

Heh.

It certainly explains a lot.

I was going to suggest Hering views the world in a Eurocentric way, but I don't think that's a strong enough term. And frankly, I'm not sure what would suffice.
