Why do the people put up with rich white men running the country, who give themselves absurd tax breaks while stripping the working classes of adequate medical care, education, etc..., and handing control of ports and what not over to foreign investors? How about somebody who actually represents the masses, not the tiny, rich elite segment of the population? When the choices are the democratic rich or the conservative rich, do voting machines with anomalies and other suspect variables really matter?
Great response, eh!
My physiotherapist once noted that it has to be done in baby steps, you can't just force somebody who is overweight to start working out or eat healthy. It's like expecting antibiotics for an infection to work immediately instead of over the course of administration.
Google is just emuling it while turning a buck through advertising. In our university library here, you are not allowed to photocopy entire books. That doesn't stop poor students from copying entire books and handing them out to classmates though. Maybe in the end, the easier access to books we've never even heard of before will increase book sales, just as other posters have noted. There is also gutenberg.org, which has thousands of books online for free--course, that doesn't include currently copyrighted material. And even with gutenberg.org around, people still buy those books for their home libraries. I dunno...

So really, what you're saying is, since it's only a tool to get to the other addictions, it's not really an addiction. You've convinced me!
