I have a portrait service on eBay the makes drawings based on photos of family members and pets. I want to expand my marketing outside of eBay and have designed a flier to post in various locations like coffee shops, book stores, animal shelters, etc. I would like some more ideas for where people would be sitting or standing and not just "zipping by." One person said they put them in nursery schools. I get a lot of parents or grandparents that want drawings of small children. So, any serious ideas would be appreciated. I would also consider publications or catalogs, but I have no idea where to look for that.

these were chrarismic self-styled religious leaders. they all had a certain animal magnetism that drew some people to die for these guys. they had far more followers than jesus ever had in his lifetime. the jewish leader opposed jesus and saw him as a troublemaker and eventually voted for his execution. what enabled jesus' followers to gain more followers? was it the power of paul (or simon as jesus liked to call him)? was paul the genius that sold this concept all the way from greece to rome? or was it peter? how did they pull that off?

Fundamentally, the drive behind each is the same.
I think arrogance is the main factor.
Do you agree or not ?
Could you elaborate on your view please if it differs from mine.
I'm just curious and not saying that I'm right, that's just my view.

I am very optmistic about our future. I think that in the future people will work just like we do hobby or sports or recreational work. Everything will be free because there will always be people to do all kinds of jobs that need to be done. Cleaning and mundane jobs by computer servants !!! Lots of Values change will be needed. Afterall if you can get your food, lodging, clothes, Medicine, Education, Communication & Transportation free, you wouldn't want to accumulate wealth (power?) and then everybody can use their energy to do what they like of course, we can also check with the internet what needs to be done locally / globally in order to direct our efforts to something useful and needed. A long way to go and very complicated but the basic idea being it. Your thoughts?

really as good as friends as the movie Tombstone implies? Apparently there was another movie with Kevin Costner that wasn't nearly as good but my friend said that Doc died before Wyatt could tell him how much he cared. I've googled biographies on them both but they don't really mention how close they were. I saw Tombstone & I loved the movie but it never said if either of them had children. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance for an info
