I think it was Franklin Benjamin Gowen a draft dodger by paying the $300.00 to stay out of the Civil War that prosecuted the Molly Maguirers and was a former D.A. but not a current D.A. but rather a mine owner that wanted The Molly Maguirers to hang!
I think there was a Pinkerton Detective who found no evidence of The Molly Maguirers so another Pinkerton Detective was sent.

Like the Civil Rights Movement.... most Americans agree that Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln were really on to something with the whole "freedom for everybody" thing.....

However, you still have a few wickedly clever people that will try to paint the ACLU, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP as "American terrorists"...

It's the same thing with the Nazi Regime.... everyone knows that Hitler was the bad guy.... but you have people that use his name as a comparison to some "anti-american liberal" person who is speaking up for equality....

It's all the same thing - Phelps, Limbaugh, KKK, Nazi, Al Qaeda, Coulter, Hussein, Bin Laden, Haliburton, Enron....

how long will it take us to squash the bug??? when do people finally end up "getting the picture"?

Alright, I am a young author (14 to be exact), and am half way through my first book. I plan to finish it by Christmas and edit for a few months after. I want to have ALL rights to my book, and I want to be the one that says what to do with the book and whatnot. If you can't tell, I am a Huge control freak. I like things my way. More so when it is really my work. Get what I mean?

Well, is self publishing a good idea? I have no problem with the price, so don't mention that. If you think it is, do you have any websites about it? I have tried to research, but I never find what I am looking for. If you think it is a bad idea please feel free to tell me why, and tell me what you think I should do.

Well, thanks in advance!!

Even if there are no gods, there are still people who believe in them and who try to get others to believe in them as well. Why shouldn't some of us speak out against this?

Why? and how is this possible? Also, would this be considered internal epistemic justification?

Do we justify our knowledge based on others? For example, we gain knowledge from learning information perceived to be "fact". For example, we have learned that grass is green. (for arguement's sake, just agree the grass is green). This would be taken as "fact". However, it had to have been based on someone else's opinion based on observation and perception of what to call the color "green", and that grass possesses this trait. However, we accept this as "fact", because someone else would have had to also agree that grass is "green" for it to be accepted by still OTHER people. For example, I could say the sky is "purple polka dotted" but I would only be justified of my knowledge if someone else agreed with me, and once I got that justification, then I would "know".
However, if we only know what we know based on perception, and perception is limited to the senses. Can't we all perceive things differently? Also, perception is not 100% reliable. (for example.... (con't)

Took is getting the gallow alone. No doubt he killed that china small girl. But do you guys really think her mum is totally not involved in the case??? Just my own opinion, I strongly think she IS involved in one way or another. Took should not be dying alone. Personally, I think Huang Na is being made use of by the mum for her insurance bought. She oredi "earned" enough from the monies donated by foolish ppl for Huang Na's funeral and now She's just waiting for Took to go so she can claim the insurance or so I heard. I pity the small girl and Took, but definately to me, I still believe that Huang Na' mum is GUILTY. What say you ppl?

I'm trying to analyze "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman

The poem goes like this:
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul


So far I can tell that the speaker is obviously relating to the way a spider casts its web to his soul searching for a place to build
