Would you have it in your house or are you a boring beige person? Just Kidding :P

Should we add purple, pink and white clouds to it or leave it as is with the blue sky only?

We're also debating on whether to paint the ceiling silver (we want to do this throughout the house), or to just do the rest of the ceilings silver and have this one continue the mural sky.

Ok, I was responding to an earlier question concerning a fake Harry Potter book and it got me to thinking about the DA. We all know that originally the DA was supposed to be something for the students to learn DADA in Harry's fifth year and at the same time basically thumb their noses at Umbridge who wasn't going to teach them anything. It was never really meant as an orginization to fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters with, but seems that that may be what some of the DA are becoming.

I got to looking at the battle at the Ministry of Magic and the one on the night Dumbledore died. In both cases at least six members of the DA take part in both battles, and it's the same six. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna. Rowling seems to have made these six the core members of the DA, and in both battles they end up either being saved by the Order of the Phoenix, or pretty much fighting beside it.

So is it possible she's setting the DA up to be the next OoP?

ben franklin said that a people that gives up freedom for security will soon have neither. is security a transitory phase rather than a 'thing' or maybe a myth, a mental construct w/o basis in reality.

is it a fact? or is it fiction? is the way we react a contradiction to our currant ways of life or instead a way to say to the wife nothing happend last night, and not fight or solve, but lie and manipulating and bending how it really is and sigh and calculating the spending of how longer we have.

it wont be too long, im waiting, not hesistating reading the news about how the governemnt choose to save money over humanity makes me think why they have their job, its not their job to rob the world of life, but whos to say its not, then again whos to say we cant smoke pot?

the same people who will bring us to our evident destruction like the eruption of Pompeii, a city whose pity we give since they lost the abilty to live yet, we cant learn about simple things about how destuction brings to those who oppose the abilty to learn from previuous mistakes we make and take the lesson into a smith and wesson.

maybe global warming doesnt exist, its not real, a lie made by the ideal people

I was intrigued by this essay about the number 666 and goddess figures in religion. Do you think a change to this kind of a world-view would be good or bad? Why?
