If you were in a store trying to buy a good book, and someone who doesn't read tells you that the books in the store were garbage and a waste of time.

Would you be stupid or intelligent to accept his/her view?

Do you think the person who doesn't read would be credible or would you ask someone who actually reads for an opinion (preferably someone who read the book you are interested in)?

The political consequences of imperialism included increased

a greater cooperation among western powers.
b tensions among western powers.
c acceptance of colonial rule in Africa and Asia.
d strengthening of local governments in Africa and Asia.

Here is an excerpt from my book, I picked D but im not sure if its right

" Imperialism had global politcal consquences, as you have seen. Europeans claimed large empipres in Africa and Asia. They disrupted traditional political units such as tribes and small kingdoms. Often, htye united rival peoples under a single government, imposing stability and order where local conflicts had raged for centuries "

Taking Xanax while awake sedates the mind, and hides uncomfortable facts about oneself that may be difficult to face, but while asleep it has the opposite effect. While asleep vivid dreams occur, forcing the mind into many different realities contained within itself. I have ecstaticly explored the cosmos during these dreams, been paralized with fear, had conversations with dead people, seen a fractalized nirvana, been a paranoid schizoprenic, and on, and on. After waking, these dreams have had a profound impact on the way I view myself and the world around me. All of my personal relationships have improved, and by exposing my soul and secrets, and dreams to others, I now live a higher quality of life with a deeper understanding of my reality. Has anybody else been affected by xanax dreams in this way?

I have always wondered this and searched on yahoo answers and the net for the answer. It AMAZES me that no one knows the true answer, the WHY!

It's Wxxx east of the Mississippi, Kxxx west of ol man river. I know that W and K were given to the US to identify their TV and radio broadcast stations. But WHY these letters?

Later, the FCC designated W for the east and K for the west. But WHY?

And why use the Mississippi as the divider?

"Just because that's what the FCC did" just doesn't explain it. I want to know the story, what was really going down at these moments of our mass communication history?

Does anyone know?
