DAVID VERSUS GOLIATH (Part 957) ——- by Steve Nadis
You know I’m desperate for laughs when I invoke the term “flying squirrels” (which has long been known as a sure-fire crowd-pleaser). But if ever there was such a time, this is one. Yesterday, I was trying to get a copy of the article I wrote about flying squirrels in an emailable form. (I have the print version already.) Searching on the web, I found the story on a website called “GOLIATH — KNOWLEDGE ON DEMAND.” Here’s the catch: I had to pay them $4.95 to see a copy of MY article. Can you believe the nerve? What a system! (Or as they say in French, “quel system!” And if they don’t say that in French, they sure ought to. But don’t get me started…) On these shores, it seems, everyone can get a piece of the action, even some unknown third party that is, seemingly, buying up my collected works and selling them to the highest bidder. Is that what makes this country great, or what?

what an IDEA! I’m gonna call my Site- “SAMSON–Knowledge for Less”. Now I’ve gotta build up my database…
Ya want a buck for that article?
I like that “Knowledge for Less”–kind of like some of those correspondence schools/diploma mills…
I’m happy to pitch in a buck if it helps.
Thanks Cousin — a few more bucks & I can read my own article. God I love this country!
