Humans depend on knowledge for their existence. Knowledge is an important human value. For example, even the knowledge gleaned from the pages of a daily newspaper can be important in shaping our own context for understanding the world around us. I found this man reading the business pages of Canada’s national newspaper – The Globe and Mail – in the club car of the country’s prime transcontinental passenger train, The Canadian. I place myself at the edge of a partition, which allows me to show the windowed wall on the outside of the club compartment, as well as the reader, who sits in the interior. The man is anonymous – he represents all of us who care about what is happening in the world, and have the time and desire to leisurely read about it length. And that is exactly what transcontinental train passengers have going for them – time, lots of time.
