I noticed this article while reading yours. It reminded me of the stupid lives actors lead that are lies. They pretend to be straight and end up marrying people to convince people they are not gay. So stupid. I don't care if they are or not. If they are a good actor or actress, we will forget all that while watching their movies. So much more respect will come their way if they don't live a lie. Now they all have to be scared to death to be outed. While Cary Grant was not a pedophile, he lived his whole life trying to make us think he was not gay. How stupid. The same goes for Spacey and others. Granted (sorry) that Grant was from another era when people would not have accepted his homosexuality, he still lived a straight life up until the very end. Could he still not even accept it himself? So Sad. http://nypost.com/2016/08/08/inside-cary-grants-secret-life-with-men/?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_1922171

If all these Pedophile protector's get exposed, virtue signalling only adds fuel to the fire.

Burn down Hollywood and Make Books Great Again.

Fahrenheit 451, the temp that Hollywood burns.

Yes, Make Books Great Again is right. Not from Amazon or a Kindle. Think about it, Kindle. Books are Kindle? Like in Burn the Books? This is the Wish of Amazon. A Big Bonfire.

Used books sales are booming. Local traders are also bootleg traders.

I am not giving away any of mine. I even hate pocket books. Nothing but a hardcover for me. I collect old mystery books, 30's and 40's and up and the prices are rising. Why? Because people love them and will pay for them. Wait, if they disappear, those that killed them, will want them back. They will try to buy them from people like me. The girl next door loves real books and I am happy to buy her some at Christmas and her Birthday. We have to keep them alive.

I've always purchased used books at garage sales. One dollar buys hard covers in good condition. Paper backs can be 5 for a buck or a dime each.

Wow. Who knew you could sell books to the library. If we stop printing real books, they will say we don't need libraries. Wake up you Young Folks. They are important. They are changing our education one step at a time so it won't be noticed. Scary. Reading improves your brain and those of our future adults. Our kids need to stimulate their brains. Cursive writing is also on the way out. This is much needed for brain stimulation as well. I have been worried about this for years.

I look for used BluRay/DVD box sets for pennies on the dollar.

Did you know the retail price of Matrix can be had for 10 bucks yet retailed for 100?

90% profit if one cares to do minimal volunteer work at the local Library.

Thanks for the heads up. This is a great idea I may just look into.

So far my local library is where we now meet up for a relaxing Saturday morning file swaps. Not only movies, but audiobooks and music. Bring a laptop with one full TB and one empty. Two cheap 1 TB or larger HDD's and the world is yours.

I commend you. Great Idea and should be shared with other friends and families.
