It's your third point that touches me the most, and am lacking heavily on this, seriously, stagnation is worst than a HIV virus. Before I used to read a lot, but now, the opposite is the case.

I so much believe that readers are leaders. Also, when you read, trust me, you'll be full of knowledge and wisdom and communing with your other mate will comand respect.

concerning your first point, you're really joking, the government of this world, past, present and in the future will never allow it's populace to have absolute fredoom, trust me, no matter how we tend to run away from them or live life independent of them, the more they'll be in full control.
