Resist Fascism: Stop SOPA
Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia Founder"For more than a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history.

Punk Rock World Traveler
Henry Rollins"I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about; I’m sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people—Americans and Europeans—come back and go, Ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on."

In downtown Sanya, Hainan Island China. There are three tiers of revolving books that you can check out using a smart card. It’s like a vending machine with hundreds of books. Never seen this before anywhere!
