  • Very interesting indeed. Saying "Licheraly" (literally) over and over is distracting. But still interesting.

  • Indulgences were used to fund the military response to the then infidel invasion; today we have unpopular universal taxesto do the same. In order to fund our "free" net we now need content (information) to support the advert tax.
