You're the one mentioning the tobacco industry when you mentioned Rizla (the makers of rolled papers for cigarettes). Or were you talking about some other Rizla that is related to books and which I don't know about?

Which makes it a geographical segregation. One is not guilty of being black or white or fat or thin or any other prejudice like that and in the same way one should not be segregated because of where one lives as if living here means you have more rights and living there means you have less. Especially within a union of countries like the EU.
