I see your point. Yes it is amazing how much knowledge you can ind in books. I think of the movie "Seven" when Morgan Freeman's character is visiting the library after hours to research. The security guard lets him in. As he goes to look for books he sees the janitors and sercurity guards playing poker. Morgan's character says all the world of knowledge at your finger tips and what do you do you play poker. Sometimes I think it would be an good job to be night security for a library, I could get so much reading in. I would take a cut in pay for that job. And yes the power of the library card is great. I have just finished a book on the life of Bruce Lee thanks to my local library. If I am lazy for a small fee I can even have the library mail books to me. I read Steve's article on internet addiction and found that very useful. I think too many times on some forums people post or respond just to get their numbers of post jacked up. I admit I sometimes think maybe on these forums or other places online I will find my great teacher or guru. It could happen but all that surfing could be better spent on reading. My daughter is getting crabby at the moment so I need to end it here.
