everything is on the internet

No, It really isn't. At least not to everyone. I've obtained books that are like 100+ years old from passing masons and eastern star members. I've tried to read them and if they were on the internet, they are almost impossible to understand, its such old English, and the references are from a few hundred years back. You really have to know your history to even attempt to make sense.
Its also absurd to think that EVERY book was scanned, or re-written so people could see it on the internet. The ones that are, or are partially talked about or quoted are often misleading. Whenever you do not put in full the writings of another, and only using quotes you quite often are giving an opinion based on someones writing. Thus, its never 100% accurate the information on the internet. Any of you that use Wikipedia for Term Papers should re-consider. Actually, Teachers are giving horrible marks in our local College because of this. The 'jist' is never the 'story'. For this same reason I have concluded that because of the internet, 'truth is an opinion unless witnessed'. (kinda goes back to the old days of 'you don't know, you were not there')
well he made a mistake like 'histler' before. So Maybe Mabus is the simpsons character McBain? Nostradamus also put his work into 3 different languages to make it difficult to translate, so it might not even start with an 'M'.

Totally true, but notice how many laws there are? I believe because of lawyers and bullshit regulation is the reason why we are in a recession right now. (for example) If GM could kill off its union, and let workers back to work under already in place labor laws, things would be fine, but there is laws that fight against other laws that actually only benefit lawyers. Meanwhile, China kicks ass because they have one law 'do what we say' yet all my friends over there seem very happy.
