Arts & Humanities - 19 September 2006

I have to do a book review for history class on Francis Bacon and Shakespeare (like supposedly they were the same person or something like that). And I'm having trouble finding anything. When I did a library search for Sir Francis Bacon, I got this weird artist guy (his art is totaly crazy if you're interested). And I need a "scholarly" book on this (the connection between Bacon - not the artist- and Shakespeare) by monday. Help!

I use the net a lot, and have been talking to a person in Nigeria, I am from Wales in UK. I have been told that all I got to do to help this person escape poverty in Africa is to invite them to Wales as my guest. And they will be given a visa and be able to live here and escape poverty. Surely if everyone in the rich countrys done this there would be nobody left in the poor countrys. And poverty would be solved. Is me inviting this person to Wales a good idea? Is there something I am missing here? or could poverty realy be solved if enougth people were to invite others to move?

Philosophical half-truth worm corrupts humanity ! Why ?

It appears that a 'half-truth' virus has corrupted mainstream philosophy.

Now a half-truth can be many things.

A litereal half of a truth, where 'we are all equal before God becomes" we are all equal" which is wrong is it not ?

So what does 'we are all equal before God" mean?

If there was such a thing as free will. Then why do people have regrets about some kind of action or decison they made previously.But, seriously regret it or can't quite figure out what they were thinking in the first place ? If you truly had free will. You wouldn't have regrets or make mistakes. Because,you'd always be in control.

Please no religious types. I cant adopt your faith thru your words. I either have it or not.

I look thru the posts and most everyone says their favorites age is anywhere from 10 - 25. I agree with this. Now I am 37 and life is work and toil and boredom and pending sickness is all that awaits.

Is it just me, or does it seem like our country is growing and growing into a sadistic, uncaring place? I mean, do you agree when I say that Americans are becoming more and more selfish and co-dependent on other people? *I'm not trying to be racist or anything, I am American myself* Do Americans take the simple things in life for granted such as having the ability to walk down the street unharmed or visit a grocery store with unlimited choice?

I have a newspaper page, 02/15/1942, Oakland Tribune. It's a full-page description of the music and complete verses of the Star Spangled Banner. It's recently been soaked with stinky cat urine and feels very fragile. Is there any way to save this clipping?
