Books are more important than anything in the whole world. For what they represent. During the dark ages monks preserved the legacy from the books. Books contain ideas. And ideas change the world. That is why a free press is so important and along with a free internet. Politicians would love to stop the free and world wide dissemination of information. Propaganda is nothing new. We have it in Red China. And in every country. And don’t kid ourselves we have it in the US. Most politicians are great “spin doctors”. They really do not answer to us. It is really big business. Now the politicians here want major web sites like Facebook to routinely spy on its users and turn over the information to the government. There is a bill in Congress to do that right now. It is our own government we need protection from. The fight over censorship is nothing new.
