I mean napoleon always gets the benefit of the doubt, there is a cartoon character in his honor, and even a cake. And yet he pretty much tried to do the same thing as hitler did. And yet hitler is portayed as this monster (deservatly so no question about it) but why is Napoleon off the hook?

Imagine a super intelligent alien race where to invade our planet, say Independence Day style. Now like in the movie we are able to beat them back and save our planet. Now obviously a large portion of the pop will have been killed in the process, but will those remaining find peace? Will the now undeniable knowledge that we are not alone in the universe be enough to bring about peace? Will race, creed, and color all disappear in the new idea that we are all but human and not this evil alien race?

I mean seriously--did you really think you were going to tell us how to run things and what to do for hundreds of years? Do you still regard us as your little brother, or have the butt kickings you endured over the years resigned you to your now second class position?

Does anyone else out there believe that we'll ever actually achieve "world peace"? Or that there is still some good out there? I think that if we all really wanted to, we could come together and work together to make the world a better place...but sometimes i feel that no one really cares about the well being of their fellow man (and woman), and that we're all just looking out for "numero uno".
I would really like to hear from some people that still care about the fate of the world, and all of the other people that live in it.
My grandfather once told me, "B, the world is composed entirely of others, with one trifling exception, remember that."
Peace <3

I recently started playing a Bach Strad 180-37. My old trumpet did not have a thumb throw and the 3rd slide was impossible to move so I never bothered with using it. Which slide should I use and what notes should I use it on?

I have never acted in something, since high school and I am very excited about the opportunity. It is a short role--about 2 pages of dialogue b/w my and this man. Anyway, should I use hand gestures, where do I look or stand or whatever? Theses people know that I have very little acting experience, but believe I would fit the role of a certain character because of my picture and resume, I guess. So, I printed the script today and studied it and am practicing. Should I wear something casual? I have no clue what to do. Thanks for any advice. Oh, and how do I do my thing and not look like it is me being nervous, since they don't know me? Should I hide my southern accent and make it more general one? I don't know if this woman has an accent of any sort. It does not say. Thanks again. :)!!!! :)

Dieing thrice,
Quadrice,
Qintice,
An agony of perpetual death.
Sitting here writing,
And plundering time,
Sinking in quick sand,
And burning in lime.
Futile yet docile my efforts now seem,
Working out futures,
In reem after reem.
For joy 'tis but fleeting,
And sorrow, sans weeping,
Lives on like a flame,
Still flickers, still glows.
But the passion for joy,
This drug of the sences,
A hope for some wonder,
Some fun and some life,
Keeps winning, keeps grinning,
With rapier it fences,
It fends back the pain,
And the sorrow and strife.

When I was little I read a story about a bull. I don't really remember the story, I just remember there was a picture of bull and a red blanket on the cover. I know that's very vague but I think it's a classic. Is it called Where the Red Fern Grows? Does anyone know?
