I acknowledge the right of the authorities and the press to satisfy themselves as to whether I am the anthrax mailer. This does not, however, give them the right to smear me and gratuitously make a wasteland of my life in the process. I will not be railroaded.

American Actress

The vision of the Internet as a vast digital wasteland isn't correct. Everything is awesome, and we have more stuff to read than we ever have in history.

 there's very little nutrients in there. And so trees take a huge amount of time to take hold. But one of the first ones that will do is Birch, and you can see one right there.
