Another Use for Books Besides Table Levelling

Lew Rockwell had a post or two on Google’s newish ngram app, which can search and graph the frequency of words from books (those things that are like websites on paper) that Google has scanned — because, you know, the information Google has amassed already isn’t frightening enough.

I did a multiple search on these terms: liberty, government, freedom, jesus, beatles, beetles, google, schadenfreude, and gonads. I guess the trick is, when searching groups of words, is to leave out the words that wreck the curve. In this example, as in the non-Google real world, we see government making a mess of things.
