Another issue is that they have a lot of nonsense on the public TV and radio, such as game shows or light comedy. These broadcasts could very well be done by commercial stations, but as these would need to compete against a state-funded ent

You wrote a book about a topic that you are very much into, and although it's only 60 pages, you were all about the contents, not the process or the readers. Often, authors just want to "write a book" or "be a writer&quo
