Your comparison, once again, is meaningless. What can be a better agent for the ideals of an advanced civilization than a book? Books do not represent decadent luxury but rather an avowal of the supremacy of learning and knowledge. I can understand the disgust that may be felt over a plane load of caviar flown in from the Crimea just to satisfy the gustatory craving of some do-nothing Hollywood mogul, but an indulgence in books is far more a virtue than a vice.
