What do you think of the new book / dvd entitled "The Secret"?
In case you have not heard of it... it is sweeping the nation with supposed scientific proof that the power of positive thinking can get you whatever you want....i.e., diamond necklace, better job, financial satisfaction, etc.

For over 17 years I have researched 'anti-truths', what are more commonly known as 'half-truths', discovering in 1994 that the definition of half-truth was incorrect.

You see a half-truth can be many things.

It was defined as a statement that is partially true; ie half true and half false.

Then it dawned on me one day that a half-truth could also be part of the truth, ie half of the truth, or part of the truth, but not the whole truth.

For example, "Stop violence against women' is two half truths.

First it only deals with violence, and not all the other forms of the abuse of women.

Second the slogan ignores the abuse of men and children.

So the statement while true, creates a polarizing lie. It is very, very deceptive.

My thesis is that this is the 'original sin' from the garden of eden, when "Adam and Eve" took of the tree of knowledge and were deceived by Satan to believe they would become like God to know The Truth ?

The books have never been read, and have spent the last 20 plus years in their hard boxes. Tissue paper still intact. One is printed on a type of rice paper. Both are psuedo leather bound, with gold and colored images stamped on the front. Pull out bi-color maps inside. Marble swirled details at front and end panels.

Mao and the socialist movement destroyed the wealthier Chinese, and much of the great things of Chinese culture. But, did Mao help the poor people of China? Did the communist government just put down the rich? Or did it put down the rich AND help the poor?

Most people believe in existing objects as physically there. Well, that's crap. I say that anything and everything can exist if you think about it, and ONLY if you think about it. Books, pictures, and CPU graphics is an applied form of thought, which is close to thinking about it. Now imagine something: if you can mentally see it OR apply it as a form of literature, then it now exists. A strong and opinionated example of this concept theory is the existance of God. Someone thought Him and beleived Him real because everything can exist in one's mind. To prove everyone of this creation, it was applied into the Bible as a religion. Some of you beleivers will be offended, I'm sure, by this statement or others may be offended simply for a "violation of excessive freedom of speech". My REAL question is your opinion on my lecture. Your answer can be negative, but not too harsh 'cause children also use Yahoo! and you or I don't want to be reported by "internet goonies". What's your opinion?

On July 16, the convention adopted the Great compromise that granted each state an equal voice in the upper house. In the lower house, representation would be according to population. The 3/5 compromise was accepted by the northern and southern delegates so that both states could come to an agreement of how slaves were counted in the population. If all the slaves were counted, Southern states would gain more legislative power by means of more representatives. The states also clashed over control of commerce. Northern delegates favored giving the national government the power to regulate all trade with foreign nations and making the states while southern deleted opposed such broad powers. The southern economy depended on exports of rice, tobacco and other products to Europe and to northern states. They also feared that if the national government imposed tariffs, overseas buyers would have to pay more for southern agricultural products. On July 26, 1787, a committee of five delegates began drafting the constitution. They presented it to the full convention on August 6. On September 17, 1787 the committee presented to the other delegates the final version of the constitution, neatly handwritten by gouverneus Pennsylvania. Some of the 55 delegates had already left Philadelphia but of the 42 remains, 39 signed it. With the convention over, the constitution went to congress and then to states for ratification.
