do you honestly think the state matters anymore? completely fluid movement is possible over the borders of the world. all that matters for power is money. the economic output of the disney corporation, fed by supporters around the world could topple nations.

with the rise of outsourcing, nations don't matter anymore. only ideologies retweeting each other into the long dark night.

its an extremely pathetic argument in favor of real books.

what's more worrying is the fact that digital copies of books are controlled by a soulless megacorporation, amazon. or that this same megacoporation now recommends books to its users, allowing for an easy control of the populace. or the infusion of advertisements into the base models of the kindle, a horrifying thought because advertisements are always propaganda and they are inserting propaganda into what should be a device for learning.

that said i can read my kindle in the dark, which is nice.

i can't wait to read all the beautiful literature that will be written now that we have returned to hard times. it'll be like literature of the Great War all over again. we may get our next lord of the rings.

no. literature is more important, more informative, and will make you wiser than music, but music is far more beautiful.
