I have been shopping today , just for books .......
I brought peter 'hamilitons , pandoras star' its Science fiction in case you havnt heard of it I am somewhat of a sci fi fan, and ive also bought the book 'The great wall China against the world ' by julia lovell, its a history of china from 1000BC to present.
anyhow i was on the train the other day and heard this couple talking and the bloke said 'I am Bored ' I looked up from reading my book and thought to myself why on earth dont you read a book then, you can never be bored with a decent book, but alas he looked at his watch and just continued to moan about how he could be at home on his play station, now i ask you this was a 30 something male ! , sometimes i wonder if there is any hope left for what we loosely describe as western civilisation if all a fit healthy male wants to do is play on his play station, what ever happened to curiosity and the wonder of actually learning something.
If i can afford it i am going to pay for some kid in a developing country to have a decent education at least they would appreciate it which is more than can be said for Mr playstation i guess. I am looking into sponsoring a childs education as i have none of my own.
