I'm not really sure that's true in today's world. In an ideal world where everyone always acted in everyone else's best interests it might be true but then authors wouldn't have anything to write about and nobody would have any reasons to have either paper books or Kindles.

I have to agree with the silly side of this discussion. I find it hard to take your concerns seriously but they are your concerns and I have no real problem with them. I don't mind you wearing a tin hat if you don't mind me giggling a little.

Really though, I think that's just the nature of the world we live in. It's well to assume that whatever we do someone might know it and just life life accordingly and try not to let it bother us. I read a few years ago that people who regularly drive a car are likely to be killed in an accident sometime in their first 70 years. I'm 76. I don't have a car now but I still do drive for other people. Should I decide that I'm on borrowed time and stop it? Nah. I'll drive my neighbor to the doctor in her car when she asks me to. I'll keep on reading on my Kindle and not worry who knows.
