Is it possible for a politician to have Christ-like ethics in today's world? Or anybody in any world? Aggression means survival, right? Does His example tell us that we should let ourselves be kicked around? If so, was He crazy?

The going rate for "professional" geneaologist appears to be $60.00 an hour. the rates I have seen for "experienced" but not "professional" researchers has been over $20.00 per hour of research regardless of what is found. Wouldn't it be better to pay only for results? How many people would rather pay to let someone with experience do the research rather than simply doing the on line looking themselves?

I've already asked similar q's under astronomy and space, but please bear w' me.

The 'brane' theory of multiple universes (if I understand it correctly) was developed to account for certain phenomena (ourselves) which according to probability, would take not only longer time to appear than the universe has existed, but longer than the universe is calculated to remain.

So the hypothesis is that there is a much larger universe than we have been aware of, and ours is only a tiny portion among many more which exist beside our own. In other words, if the universe it too small and ephemeral for us to have appeared by the working of random chance, assume a larger and longer lasting universe such that the probablility is assured.

This seems awfully like a question-begging argument, to me. It might satisfy the mathematics, but not our mannishness, the innate personal character of our beings.

Here is the analogy: An elderly lady once attended a lecture on cosmology.

I am working on a philosophy term paper, and I have chosen my topic to be: Internal vs. external views of the epistemic justification of knowledge. Here's my problem (other than having to pick a side and prove why it's better), but.. when I start getting into the idea of knowledge and how we attain it, and it starts getting into perception as an external source, then it starts getting into the concept of "does what we perceive really exist outside our own minds". I don't really want to get into solipsism on this paper, but how can I avoid this? Also, who would be good philosophers to use who would AGREE that "we only know what we know because we have to be justified in our belief of what we know from others around us and not just ourselves"? (external view) and who would be good philosophers to use who would agree that "we only know what we know from a prior knowledge given to us by a higher form before we were born, we just use our existence in a journey to recollect this knowlege"

In Aquinas's proof of first cause, he claims that "something cannot come from nothing" and that the idea of a "first designer" is superior to that of infinite regress. So, did "existence" always exist and God came into it, or did God create existence? (classic "which came first chicken or egg" paradox)

ETHICALLY SPEAKING, when (if ever) don't I have the right to ask whatever price I like for something which I rightfully own (e.g., made out of things I own or bought rather than stealing)?

Please give a reason for your reply. I am not interested in what the law says my rights are, or what gets me into Heaven. The question is about what obligations could trump property rights.

I asked a similar question elsewhere, but miscategorized it and didn't get much of a response. So here's another attempt:

I'm considering pursuing a career in acting and I'm wondering where would be the best place to test those waters? My short term goal is to audition like mad until I get a paying gig, no matter how large or small, and then use that experience to decide if it's something I want to devote my life to.

The obvious choice is to move to Los Angeles, where more movies, commercials, and TV shows are filmed than anywhere else. But then I consider the competition. It seems pretty much everyone living in LA is actor or wants to be, and most struggle to make ends meet. So, maybe a city where the film industry is less prominent would be better for someone merely giving it a try.

Any advice on this subject would be much appreciated.
