You can rely on the visual and audible media all you want - but they should be in addition to reading, not in place of it. If other forms replace reading, then your input is restricted, and much more dependent upon other people, who may or may not have your best interests at heart. Still, I wish the paper had included an address for contributions. But the largest supplier of American weapons to the Columbian government is, of course, the US government.

Rights are inherent in the nature of man.
Since no other kind of man exists except as convenient bookkeeping figments, rights exist only in the individual man. The State's claim also implies the dubious assumption that it is the embodiment of the collective. But these, too, are bookkeeping figments, shorthand for the list of individuals who make up the family, or clan, or tribe. If rights are individual, then there can be no right to that which someone else must provide. The KGB doesn't expect you to provide the evidence against you.
