Matthew says
The whole Fallen World thing is a major tenet of Christianity. Yet, it seems to get a short shift today. We want to believe the world is perfectible. The other thing I found reading the Bible is that God comes in conflict with the religious authorities of the day. The most famous example is Jesus and the Pharisees but it runs through out the Bible from the Old Testament to the New.
Putting religion aside, I enjoy the feel of actual books too. I will buy e‑books but it is only for certain works. My junk food reading I tend to use e‑books, but for real reading I want to actually hold the book. I want to smell the book.
For me the world will truly be cursed when I can’t walk into a bookstore and buy a paper and binding no-shit book.

We are not there yet and I hope we don’t go there.
