This could be a glimpse of the future. LAREDO, Texas — The final chapter has been written for the lone bookstore on the streets of Laredo. With a population of nearly a quarter-million people, this city could soon be the largest in the nation without a single bookseller. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/21/laredo-no-bookstore-for-c_n_399422.html http://DTPollard.com | ||

For a long time we had none in our downtown section. What surprise when I think it was year before last a majority of Americans had not read even one book? What surprise in a nation that might elect Sarah Palin President in a few years. This is how civilizations die--they slowly dumb themselves to death. |
