No, he showed a single example of a library book slip (not a "card") with "date due" stamps.  That doesn't make it "typical" or applicable to the Mosk memo.

Now you're just being silly.  The library card itself wouldn't have that information.  That doesn't mean that it wasn't kept.  The purpose in bringing up the card was because you took your memory of a library card being photographed with a page from the book and just decided that this was "typical", and therefore applicable to New Orleans.  Unless somebody can prove that it wasn't.  One anecdotal example is as good as any other.

You find a lot of stuff convincing that you you just declare are "most likely" or "typical".

Such as?

Evidence that has already been cited in this thread.

Additionally, here is a link for a thread on “The Straight Dope” regarding this type of library checkout system (before computerization). It includes descriptions from various locations. I have read the first 25 posts. All describe a system similar to what I have already indicated as typical. None of them have tracking of the actual return date.

So the return date is moot as it doesn't meet the contrarian standard of proof that it ever happened.  Isn't that how it works?

No, it’s yet another “Richard Smith” strawman that has nothing to do with who killed JFK.

No evidence has been cited in this thread other than the Mosk memo and some conjecture and personal anecdotes.

Your contrarian attitude has you blinded.

"Contrarian" is a bogus label meant to try to absolve oneself from having a burden of proof for his claims.

"You just just accept my 'common sense' argument as 'evidence' or else you're being a 'contrarian'"

Yes I am.  Your argument is contrary to the actual facts and evidence.

That might be your definition. But the actual fact of the matter is:

A contrarian is someone who takes an opposing view, especially for the sake of being difficult, contentious or in opposition to the generally held view.

Your blindness and wayward opinion has you lost out in left field somewhere.

Well then that would be another unfounded assumption made by you, because you're under the impression that your opinions automatically constitute the "generally held view".  And/or that if a view is "generally held", that makes it automatically true.

Since I am an "old" , and do remember checking out books in the late 1960s, I can testify that records were kept of overdue books, since there were fines assessed for tardiness. (5 cents a day, perhaps?)

The Commission document notes a Dallas library delinquency on Oswald's part.

No mention of New Orleans' delinquencies, nor mention of any investigation therein.

Any objections to the above statements?
