While I agree, the convenience of an e-reader is great, and I’ll use mine for books I don’t intend get deeply involved in, which, sadly, is the majority.
Why should there be hunger and privation in any land, in any city, at any table when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?… There is no deficit in human resources; the deficit is in human will.
