Yes, you pay Amazon,and Amazon pays the seller.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: My thanks to you all for (4.00 / 2)

Thank you. Now for another topic.

I was in the Sac State library yesterday and I breezed through a current copy of Newsweek ... haven't touched one in years. I once had respect for the mag but this issue seemed like a piece of crap compared to my state-of-knowledge produced by visiting ET regularly.

Any comments?

Same with The Economist, Der Spiegel, and any number of periodicals the conventional wisdom of 10 years ago considered authoritative.

I am not sure whether they have deteriorated or I have become a radical...

Re: My thanks to you all for (none / 1)

No, I rarely read it, yet friends swore by it, so I picked it up 3 weeks in succession and couldn't believe the reactionary ill-informed twaddle I was reading. ET does kinda spoil you as far as the tradmed go.
