I learned that recently when a student living in Qatar advised me he 
couldn't access some of our readings from the Internet Archive 
because it is blocked by the national proxy. I had never thought of 
that source as a subversive collection of information! Managing that 
network must be a nightmare. What about Google results? Amazon?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
