RE: Why the Peaceful Majority is Irrelevant

I received an email the other day and found the article compelling. As with most forwarded mails, what you receive isn’t what the author originally sent. So I have done some investigation and tracked it back to this apparently ‘original’ article. It is an interesting perspective on human nature in relation to past atrocities and the current state of actions by religious extremist minorities. I have a lot of respect for Islam but it does make you think what role we all play in allowing any group or country of people to do evil.

While at an unnamed shop on the weekend, I noticed this interesting special and felt compelled to buy several cartons due to its amazing discount. $15.99 each - SAVE 1c each. Ummmmmm.

More evidence of stick-in-the-mud mentality

In a recent article on Wired Magazine, several publishing houses have complained about the pricing structure of Amazon eBooks. Regardless of the fact that a lack of distribution costs warrant a lower retail price; to protect book shops publishers want to artificially increase the price of eBooks.

Cheap MP3 downloads have been available for years now and I still can’t throw a stone in a shopping centre without hitting a music shop or two. I don’t see how the sale of books is any different, not to mention the increased selling capacity of a global store front.
