[Idly dictated into the journal,]

It never ceases to amaze me with what people get to write, and what gets made into books. Some things just seem downright treasonous, but they still get bound, and bought, and read by lots of people.

I'm a little jealous to be frank. At home it could be pretty tough to get hold of books and things. Some of my friends couldn't even read so having books would have been moot.

[Rin is in the library today, which is not very surprising: the library is a good place to try and find her. Tad the Arcanine is hanging around lolling under tables and in front of chairs as she reads. Just now, she seems to be slipping a book into her carryall: the curious might get enough of a glimpse to see that she's making off with The Anarchist's Cookbook.

Open, of course.]

It means that citizens had the political right to express their ideas through any medium, which included through the printed word, I suppose. However, the right was still subject to limitations.

Well surely knowing how to make bombs and stuff must be one of those limitations! Er - teaching other people how to do it!

[whitecovered]

Apparently not, though defamation and slander were.

[Given the existence of the books right there...funny how that works.]

The future is weird.

[After four years almost, that is her final answer.]

[Moving words.]

It is indeed.

Thanks for answering my questions anyway!
