He apparently passed away last Tuesday.
I read about his pardoning of Nixon and how there was some suspicion about a deal they made together. What do you think about the matter?

I've always wanted to write a book about wizards and magic. But now that Harry Potter is so famous, I can't write what I really want to because I feel like if I do people will just tote is as a rip-off trying to copy J.K. Rowlings success. I've already seen a bunch of 'boy wizard in magic school' type of rip-offs since Harry Potter. Is tis category dead now for future novels? Of course I know I can still write other types of fantasy and magic stories, but specifically following the life of a young wizard...is that off-limits now?

I have lots of books and I want to donate them, but everytime I look at my books, I want to keep them in case I have time to read them later. I know that's what a library is for, but I like actually owning the books. I guess having books makes me feel smart. Does that make sense?

What is all a bunch of propoganda or a serious issue? I had a computer that I bought in 1998 and it wasn't updated at all between 99 and 2000, and it was just fine.

Drugs, illegal exotic animals, theft scams, cons and slave/sex trades, Why are we humans so greedy? I dont understand why people are so greedy? Someone is buying all of the drugs, animals that are almost extinct from poachers, people selling childrend into the slave trade. God help them, what is the point of the money? You cant take it with you? You can only sleep in one bed at a time, drive one car at a time and the ones that think they are cool because they have so much, need to consider the blood from the how they got it. I have been embarrassed to part of the human race since I was five and it just keeps getting worse. I want some answers to what I can do to help stop this blood bath, disregard to human life, theft, cons, scams and things I havent even heard about. Please Yahoo'ers, think about what we can do to stop this. Thank you for your sincere consideration.

Ok daft question you may think, but I have been baffled for a few years now. We all know about the mad mans policies towards ethnic groups and military aggresion but what exactly was a National Socialist?
The name implies that they were left wing but we all hear about the far right Nazis?
He obviously created nationalised industries (VW being a famous example) but also left private companies to run themselves (Mercedes & BMW to use another car manufacturer example).
So what exactly were his political views and where would they slot in on our right to left political scale?

I have all the books but never get round to reading so i want a general idea of why they're so good. Aren't they just silly kids books or would an adult enjoy them?

I am a school teacher and so the cameras are in constant use recording pupils and their work. The video clips and photographs are then stored on one laptop. Is there a way to collate the photograph and video file names into a list which I can update regularly?

A married man who begs his friend,
A bachelour, to wed and end
His lonesome, sorry state,
Is like a bather in the sea,
Goose-pimpled, blue from neck to knee,
Who cries, "The Waters's Great"!

Ever since I knew you
My heart sings a new tune:
One of love.
Every time you come around,
I bubble with joy;
As happy as a _______.
You give me pleasure unknown before,
Each day I beg for more;
Without you, my heart is empty;
ever day seems dull.
I can't pay you for the joy you give;
But I know you
You are the reason to live.

please help! it has to be rhyme with joy
thanks a lot =]]
