In the end, I've opted not to buy this gadget, because ultimately, it's just not as satisfying or lasting as having a book. I have books given to me by my grandparents that they had as teenagers, what do you think the odds are that a Kindle or the formats it supports will last even two decades? I'm going to stick to my dead trees, thank you.

Maybe if IT people weren't so busy turning their noses up at the "liberal arts", you might know a few things about history and how things work on this planet, and maybe, just maybe, you won't become the underpaid lackey of some jackass who went to b-school and believes that the earth was "created" 5000 years ago.
The fact is that peasant revolutions have been causing regular upheavals in the social order for millenia.
Haven't listened to Metallica since 1987. And very happy with that. Who wants to listen to a bunch of luddite has beens when there's a huge wealth of amazing music out there that's now available completely for free?
But these Fuegians in the canoe were quite naked, and even one full-grown woman was absolutely so. It was raining heavily, and the fresh water, together with the spray, trickled down her body.
His powers of observation really knew no bounds. I admire this man.
