This my seem very odd, but from one of my history classes a while ago I seem to remember that there was a general during the Civil War who was a brilliant strategist. One of the example of things he did was having his men run around and make a large dust cloud, therefore causing the enemy to think that he had a very large number of men, and they fled. What I can't remember is which general did this, or even which side he fought for. So really what I'm asking is: who was the civil war general who once created a cloud of dust to scare the enemy?

Is the 21stC "clash of civilisations" between religion and rationalism?

Beliefs from long gone societies persist. But might more modern and scientific insights into creation, evolution, the nature of matter, human interdependence with Earth's natural systems etc replace them, and lead to more rational behaviour. It only requires a "critical mass" to change anything, in nature or society.

What is the point of my life?

Or anyone’s life for that matter? Assuming perfection, or being better, are not relative …I know I’m not perfect and I could be better. I also know some people are better off (financially & physically) than I am. Why would I, or anyone else, want to live out a lifetime being mediocre. I say, if one is to live, might as well be at the top of the food chain. There is no point in starting in the middle. If I could pick, and I had to be anything less than perfect (or the best), I’d rather not exist at all.

During the great depression, why was the whole world suddenly in ruin?

Although some countries may have gotten out of the depression earlier and thus had a comparitive advantage over another country as Germany somewhat did, but why did all countries in the world suffer. Wouldn't it be logical that the money go somewhere instead of leave everyone's pockets at the same time?
