If only I could think good. Maybe you know why brick is square, but splash is round? Stupid American genes! Need more hamburgers.

Besides, what would all those law firms have behind their desks for a replacement? Legitimate credentials? :)

Travel guides are coming to the same point, where up-to-date information on the 'Net is succeeding the clunky traditional format of books. But it's been that way for years, even before the Internet! Backpckers routinely tear out and staple what they need and throw the rest of the book out. I think travel guides are going to streamline into monthly, mail-order updates whose contents are propelled by Internet users and confirmed by writers in the field. It may be oh-so-cozy to travel with an electronic guide, but batteries never run out on the printed page.

If you compare the two cases, you can boil it down into "I am my sheltered outlook," and you might be making some progress here. Best of luck to you!

Money's important, but it's not the root of all travel. I think we're agreed there. So... sorry again.

All this coming from a guy who spend his time reproaching people for being privileged... via computer.
This is just a backwards equation of money = happiness. Saying you need money to travel is like saying you need money to live a happy life, and that's absurd. It's the whole idea of the article above.
(BTW - Durden ultimately goes too far by forcing a transformative experience on the unwilling, but much of his philosophy is sound in moderation.)

But all that is really academic, because travel isn't about money. All of you know this, including tim. I suppose that saying I like to walk to the end of the block once a day makes me an elitist, taking into account all those people who aren't able to walk. Where oh where do I sign up to hate my own guts? Spare me.
This is not only a false dilemma, it's an exercise in pandering. Don't get suckered into it.
