[QUOTE="pauli, post: 13437, member: 88"] [b]Titor's Culture[/b] I have often found the sociological implications of Titor's world to be interesting. Part of me had to agree with his point of view, because I also see the flaws in our society that he points out. For instance, there is a large record store in Mid-town Los Angeles called Aomeba Records and Tapes. It is a large warehouse sized building, whose lower floor is devoted to music of all kinds - both records and CD's. The upstairs is devoted strictly to movies, VHS & DVD's. It is a great place to pick up recent and not so recent material. My friend introduced me to the place a few years ago and I have been there about 5 or 6 times.
