Maggie's Farm

Have you ever dampened you finger and turned the page of a computer screen?

Have you ever sat down with a copy of Bartlett's Quotations, allowed the book to fall open and then just rummage around?

I would hope books would have been invented. Somehow reading Huck Finn on a computer just ain't the same.

If cars were invented before the horse ever saddled would people ever ridden horses?

The question clearly reads. "If the Internet existed first, before newspapers, would anyone have invented newspapers?"

I noticed that because of the question mark at the end of the sentence.

Nowhere do I see a response from mr. Buffett saying that investing in newspapers would never have happened.

CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH CONTINUES...
Slavery today.

First a question. If you ask an American Indian what tribe he/she belongs to they can tell you immediately. If you aske a Black the same question what is there response?

Continuing on our celebratory mood lets take a look at slavery today and where it still thrives. The slave trade in Africa was officially banned in the early 1880s, but forced labor continues to be practiced in West and Central Africa today. UNICEF estimates that 200,000 children from this region are sold into slavery each year. Many of these children are from Benin and Togo, and are sold into the domestic, agricultural, and sex industries of wealthier, neighboring countries such as Nigeria and Gabon.According to Anti-Slavery International, the world's oldest human rights organization, there are currently over 20 million people in bondage.

So we have IN TODAYS WORLD Blacks selling other BLACKS inot slavery..
It crys out for the question. Where is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson et.al.? when was the last time either were in any of the countries mentioned above protesting?

Worldwide 20,000,0000 ..... TWENTY MILLION. That in my world is nothing to celebrate, but then I'm not black. Perhaps they do not care that their ancestors are still trading black flesh to blacks?
Anyway. Let's continue the Black History Month Celebration, time is running out.
