As for the Rolling Stone issue, burn them. Perhaps you could turn them into tiki torches.

Bookstores? Though it contradicts my first statement that you could spend less time with your computer -- since your tastes and needs are more specific and do not gel necessarily with the mass populus -- you should search online to satisfy your needs.

Colleges? I concur. Too many frat parties and excuses not to learn and too many profs. that let it go and make it ok to be a dumb jock or a dumb greek. Discipline. That's what we need more of, discipline. Then perhaps we could get past the statistical average education level of the 8th grade.

Music/artistry? Again I concur, and I believe that rant stands alone.
