It's a tough one, but for reasons I myself can relate to, I'd have to say Martin Luther King - "I Have A Dream", his infamous speech at the March on Washington in 1963 has inspired me in so many ways and at the most difficult times in my life so far, has given me hope and faith. Both of which continue to carry me through, irrespective of how bad things seem.

At my most narrow minded phase of a few years ago - I confused it for a speech about racism - but now I feel different. It's about freedom and equal rights for all and it is innovative as much as it is informative.

Enjoy answering this one....

Lets say the government takes a radical turn and everyone will now pay a 75% flat tax, and the proceeds will be used to feed, clothe, educate and medicate the world for the good of all mankind. Would you happy to go along with this? Would the concept of drastically reducing your standard of living for the benefit of people on other continents be too abstract to motivate you?

I posit that this is why there can be no such thing as a Utopian society, or a kinder, gentler society. (ala Bush I) Its just not possible for humans. What do you think?

I'm currently writing a fantasy novel, and I'm at a loss to what to name my main characters. They are all girls, four of them, and their names must start with N, S, E, and W. I need something unusual, but not to where its difficult for my readers to pronounce their names. Any suggestions?

or are we created?? are we made the way the way we are

i had a nasty thought the other night (yes, i know i should stop thinking)

what if we are 'created' to be the personality that we are, with governments tinkering with education and certain aspects of our lives its certainly possibly

u either follow or rebel against the model u are given at childhood

also if u create an equal number of people committed towards society as there are against then u would create a 'war' within the economy with the two opposing sides working against each other and neither achieving anything, which would keep the economy constantly ticking over with different sides at the 'forefront' at different times

so by being lazy and allowing people to be 'against society' (or to drop out) and saying, it doesnt matter - are we making life more stressful for ourselves and ultimately destroying our society in the long run, when we should be finding commmon ground and working together

I read a book as a kid that had a sort of scientist as the main protagonist, who happened to sell his soul to the devil... it was very Faustian in nature. I can't seem to remember the name or author of the book and was wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks!

Any discussion or action against the pharmaceutical companies for denial of access to life saving medications? Millions are dying in the name of profit. Look at the court records by PMA and drug companies. They have fought to limit licencing and generic sales. They are clearly making decisions to maximize profit that are causing the death and misery of millions. Imagine 200 MILLON dying because Roche has restricted production of Tamiflu for profits if H5N1 becomes infectious in humans, currently mortality rates are over 50%. Isn’t this genocide, genocide of the poor? I am sure twenty years from now these will be widely viewed as crimes against humanity. Roche shows how far they are willing to go. How many died in the Holocaust?

I tried reading one once and put it down after I found it too vulgar for my taste, but ignoring that, I hadn't found anything particularly scary about the book yet.

So, what IS it that makes his writing embody horror, make his novels the epitome of fear?

Thanks!
