I let the used bookstore throw away my books. There are lots of categories they say they won't accept (like computers) but I bring them all. I tell them to just give me a total price. They don't give me back any books. I really do not like throwing away books.

I wonder how this is different than usenet. I can recall our sysadmin complaining about having to manage usenet.

Back in the 90's I saw the same thing when living in Brazil. A friend in his 70's who owned real estate in Rio owned a Rolls recently returned from NYC. He said he was shocked at seeing the hatred in the eyes of people in NYC. He countered how he could stop for a coffee or beer or anything else and just talk to anyone who was there regardless of the socio-economic status. I had to agree. I always wondered why there was not more discontent.

at least in the 80's a private hospital only had to bring a person to a certain degree of health. I had a gash and was taken to a private hospital where they cleaned and bandaged the wound but then told me to go to Bellevue for more work as I was not insured. Just came back from Thailand where I had a mountain bike accident where I spent 2 hours getting stitches in emergency room with next day followup and bunch of meds and total cost was US$400.00. That would have been more like US$4,000.00 in the U.S.

I have to start giving away personal data before getting to what I hope is the meat and potatoes of what you are offering. I don't think so.
