Eternally in your debt Sir Clarke.

May the ether give you better comfort than this ape-riddled planet.

Who decides which books get press (2001) and which get censored? After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books like America Deceived (book) from Amazon and shut down Ron Paul. Free Speech forever (especially for books).
