I entered this under Higher Education, but no one answered it.

I need to find out more about the first Governor, Jose Figueroa, when it was Alta California; before California and the few other states became part of the U.S.A., and was Mexican Land.

I've read many history books, and can only find him in a few. Before becoming Governor of Alta California he was Governor of Sonora Mexico. He was sent to places to fix up messes others made, kind of like a Human resources (HR)

I have to do this for a class assignment, I just did one on the first Americans, Native Nation, and one on Early settlers; the vikings and the supposed Vinland map, and Chinese suppose discovery...both after 12th century B.C. and before the 15th century B.C.

I also did a paper on Russian settlers, Dutch, and the Irish…the Spanish settlers...how slavery brought African...and so on...

Now I need to do a paper on a Seemingly forgotten figure of any era, as long as she/he was involved within the now U.S.

My friend and I were discussing the arguments for and against God. He argues that at since any type of evidence is always subject to doubt or varying interpretation that it is the same faith scientists have in a theory until it is proven the religious have in God.

He pointed out that since I have not seen my brain but yet have faith that it is there so likewise is religious faith. For even if I know other people have brains, there is no direct link between their brain and mine. Therefore is a possibility that I don't have a brain.

I failed wih various arguments to disprove this thesis of his. He, therefore, argues that most atheists or people who claim that believing in God is requires too much faith or a leap in the dark that the same can be said at the existence of otherwise of my brain. He uses this argument to show that many things require faith where physical evidence is lacking and therefore uses to to justify rationally his belief in God.

Why not try a little humor, wit, and fairness, not to mention common human decency?

I tried to change one of Noel's lines- I didn't think it possessed the resonance that my improvement carried and the Director threw acid in my face. It might have been a gin and tonic but it felt like acid. From that day I swore I would bring crashing down the pretence, the playacting, whole facade that is theatre and Y answers is the perfect platform but that's not all- When I get a new bellows for my organ and a chainsaw for the chandelier, then, THEN I will have my revenge. Be warned- Don't venture near a theatre. Ha ha ha ha.

Larry Summers a very bright guy ( great academic and former treasury secretary) has been forced out of Harvard, because he dared say something we all know- namley that women are not as smart as men are-. This was not a sexiest remark, but a scientifc one based on biological evidence.
Can any one mention the name of a woman that rivals thet sheer brightness of say, phisycist Albert Einstein? or the sheer mind power of Greek philosopher Aristotle? or the financial ability of famous investor Warren Buffet? or the mangement ability of former GE CEO Jack Welch? or the political ability of George Bush? I could go on and on, but I think people get my point.....I dont mean to suggest that women belong to the kictchen, beacouse even there men are better...Havent you noticed that the greatest chefs are male?
BUT women do bring aboslute beauty to this world and with just one look they dominate us. However a great injustice has been commited against Harvard president Larry Summers.
