Why not? If you're really interested in discovering the
truth, that is still your best bet.

So nothing's changed. For 99,9% of the world it has
_always_ been unaccessible (conveniently, 99.9% of the world
has never given a damn anyway). The difference in the 21st
century is that, slowly, some of the facts *are* becoming
available online. It's not easy to find them, because 99.9%
of what's available online is crap.
