      "Why would people pay for something they can get for free?"

      Because it's illegal.

      Because it's immoral.

      Because it's disrespectful.

      Do you just walk into a grocery and take whatever food you want? You're a shoplifter.

      Do you just drive away in any vehicle that's convenient? You're a car thief.

      Do you earn money by copying other writers' words and ideas and passing them off as your onw? You're a plagiarist.

      Do you take someone's loved one against his/her will and demand money for the person's return? You're a kidnapper.

      Taking what doesn't belong to you doesn't make you enlightened or an anarchist. It makes you a thief.

      Taking something that doesn't belong to you doesn't make it yours; it makes it stolen.

      Where do you live? Please invite everyone on the internet to come to your house, because, if you can get it for free, why would you pay for it?

      Let them haul off YOUR life for free then.

      Why would people pay for something they can get for free?. That's something that 'professional' writers need to start considering. They better start thinking about 'the total quality' they try to sell and in so doing they'll have to humble their opinions. .. We all know what opinions are. :)

      The "summit" is one of a plethora of such women's conferences, all seemingly starring the same cast of characters. I gather the idea is to argue that women everywhere should be liberals in the usual Democratic Party sense, conceived as globalizers and policepersons. They are at least a decade late, actually more like several centuries late. It is a typically Whig, Benthamite, Great Awakening, child-saving sort of movement. An announcement lists one of the topics as "how traditions can be toppled in cultures that devalue women." It sort of reminds me of one of those sci-fi flicks about a race of Amazons who can do everything but reproduce. First we had to have a black history month in February, now we have a women's history month in March. Will they take up a collection for a museum on the Mall? They have one in Dallas. The reason why women are "kept down" is to keep men from fighting over them, and they provoking it, but Arab women accept this and do not want other men ogling them, believe it or not. I am glad this interview for the most part steered clear of it. I regret to say I think the common evaluation of journalists is the correct one and that "professional" writers in most cases don't deserve to be paid, being parasites in general. I think much of the Web behaves the same as they do.
