Is there anything new out there in philisophical academic circles which has the potential to change the way we think about and view society, politics and the arts in the 21st Century? If you think so, then please tell us what you know of these cutting edge ideas.

I have the dictionaries answer for the words ...

Tyrant: A ruler who exercises power in a harsh, cruel manner.

---&---

Monarch: A nation's ruler or head of state usually by hereditary right.

Was there ever such a person that could hold the titles of both Monarch -&- Tyrant " ... Besides Samson & David of the bible, which were 2 great warriors.

Besides bible stories, who could be referred to as a monarch/tyrant, that led all by himself ?

In Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2, act 3, scene 1, the king has a soliloquy. It begins, "How many thousand of my poorest subjects / Are at this hour asleep! O sleep, O gentle sleep, . . ." At the end, he declares, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." My Web searches cannot find the source of the *extremely* widespread MISquotation above. I'm guessing there's contamination from the party game of "Heavy, heavy hangs over thy head" (see http://childrenparty.com/partygames/printversion/forfeits.html and very differently http://www.mythicjourneys.org/mythkids_oct06_halloween_forfeits.html ), but that's all it is--a guess. Web searches on "heavy hangs" "uneasy lies" head wear crown yield nothing useful.

I suppose this is sort of a rant, and I'm sorry if it is but I need some suggestions/comments.

Some time ago my friend said he got into quantum physics, so I asked him how. He said he watched a "documentary" called "What the Bleep Do We Know?".

So I watched this movie. The movie claimed that quantum physics shows that we create our own "reality". It was all a bunch of pseudoscience with no logic whatsoever.

I did some research and found that the three directors of the movie are part of a cult called "Ramtha's School of Enlightenment" and the leader of the cult is a wman who claims to channel a 10 000 thousand year old warrior called "Ramtha"! The woman is also in the video (the one with plastic surgery).

The movie incorrectly defines quantum physics and also gives much more incorrect info.

The movie has absolutely nothing to do with quantum physics, it is a publicity stunt! I couldn't believe people can be so gullible...

Then I stumbled across "The Secret" on TV.

I do not wish to bother her or take up a great deal of her time--I would be pleased with 5 minutes. I simply want to see her and personally thank her for her beautiful novel To Kill a Mockingbird.

Loneliness is so hard to take
My eyes keep on shining
My smile is so fake

Friends that call are none
To be alone
Is to be only one

No where to go
Nothing to do
To be alone is to be without you

The statement is made
The question is why
To be without you
Makes me want to cry

Without you, my life is not complete
Peace at last
I'll close my eyes and go to sleep

Is not great to decide by yourself the kind of person you want to be, what you want to see, study, decide how you are going to raise your children, to evolve and live in a free country?

What are you going to do this weekend?

No title yet... but just please let me know what you think of it. It's for this summer school thing that starts in a couple of days. I just want to know if you think its good enough... in that case i'll list my age (which i'm trying not to do... but whatever) i'm 14
here it is:

Throwing wood into a fire,
only making it grow.
Flames turning everything into ash,
ash as black as midnight.
Wind's breeze carries the ash gently,
blowing it some place new,
somewhere so intimidating.
Ash sitting by new fire,
can do nothign but cause damage.
New fire comes so near,
swallowing the ash into it's flames.
The ash falls into hell,
but that is not what frightens me,
it's the scary fact that,
the ash appears to be me.

ok... so what do you think? Does it make any sense at all? what do you understand from this poem?

I cannot remember hearing much about Italians sending Jews to death-camps, or purges or ghettos in Italian controlled areas.
