It's totally democratic, there's no entry requirements on a book, the information's all there for you and you can fit it into your own ideas and expand your horizons and understanding about things you'll never be able to experience otherwise, or maybe learn about things you didn't know existed. The information can help you develop your own ideas, refine them, expand them. What's the alternative, believing that everything important is contained inside your own head, needing no input or collaboration with the outside world, that you can't learn anything from anything except your own direct experience? I don't think civilisation would have quite got as far as it has without sharing ideas.
The alternative is what our country was built on, the thing that ended with the Druids and their rightous distrust of books, they were right as well, just look at all the death and wars over just 2 books -the bible and the koran, nuff said...

Ah thank you :)
But really, it's like this morning on the radio, they were talking to some republican in america about gun control. Heads and brick walls. But apparently I can't read someone dissing the written word without putting my oar in can I.

Oh for goodness sake you're using the written word to condemn the written word! How can you possibly claim what goes on between your ears outranks the collective learning of Mankind?

"the Druids and their rightous distrust of books"
I don't even know where to begin with that. But since you've said it it's probably true so I won't argue.
But, it's not just about written words - it's about sharing information and printing is only the medium. - telling people about things they don't know about, places they've never been, ideas they'd never considered, listening to people and working those ideas into your own. In the 21st century not only do we have all the ideas of people we know and meet (like the 'Druids' had) but we have at our fingertips literally millions of books and papers and discussions, not just physically in libraries but on the internet. There's got to be stuff to enrich your own ideas out there. But you sound like you're discounting that, like all that you need is what's inside your head, your own experiences. ?

I think that's what he is saying. He can't be. Are you? Surely you can't be.

Well that's a great example [i've been waiting for you to say this] because you lot [tiompan, harryshill and you] do reckon you've nothing to learn from me [and my writing] and certainly nothing from each other, so this proves my point very well, thank you and goodnight, have you been talking to yourself on the jounal all night? and then realised no ones there and thought you'd better get over here and cause some trouble, i still can't believe you called yourself "troublemaker", it's honest i suppose.
