- Just shows that a lot of people have thrown them in the trash, instead
- of sending them to the used book stores. Of course, even if all the

- Some cops get upset if you have a book of matches - they figure that
- you are a diehard arsonist. For some reason, they seem to believe that
- there is no such thing as curiosity. They expect everyone who reads

- people will start using the materials on the police.
