Especially since there was a clear "misunderstanding" as to where the border between Mexico and Texas was located. Was this "Manifest Destiny" or just an excuse to seize Mexican lands?

See, I am His whipping boy.

Except for the pain,

uncertainties abound

thereabouts of life;

nothing should interest

unless there is deeper stake.

Found everything a commonplace.

Nothing to look forward to,

but for the past revisiting;

too tired and vexed.

No new steps came to me

that should be belonging to God.

Listened to Him from the above--

an ear pressed against the floor.

Crawling things entered my each pore.

I remember very little from HS but something I do remember and think will stick with me is a Nova documentary my history teacher showed us. It was titled something like "The greatest inventions of the last 2000 years" (move was made in 2000) or something like that. We had a diccusion afterwards and many said it was the automobile, electricity, telephone, airplane, computers or TV. I disagreed I think it is the printing press, why? because even with automoblies, electricity, phones, airplanes, computers and TV, if the printing press was not invented, would be even have those right now and even if we did the knowledge wouldn't be so widespread. Many people who were alive during the time the printing press was invented couldn't read or were read to them by their priest. So many goods things came from this one invention.

What do you think is the greatest invention of the last 2000 years and why?

Okay, I admit I love Edward Cullen and his lovely vampire family as much as the next person. I think Louis and his struggle to embrace his nature is interesting. What I wonder is, are we doing a disservice to vampires when we make them all cute and cuddly, or at least able to control their appetites when it suits them, feed on animals, fall in love with mortals, etc.?

To me, the truest vampire in literature remains Stoker's Count Dracula. He's a very complex fellow. He still feels human emotion, in my opinion, but he has fully embraced his nature, and he knows exactly where he fits on the food chain. He's at the top. He likes it there. And I like that he likes it there. A creature with such great powers, a perfect predator, belongs at the top.

Vampires are such interesting creatures, but to me, it robs them of part of their majesty and grace when writers "dilute" them and make them more human than not.

What are your feelings? Please cite works, if possible.

Thanks.

"The truth hurts" is a common phrase some of us may hear throughout life. Now that I think of it though, isn't truth relative? So if someone says something like, "You're weird," and then that person gets hurt by that, and they say "The truth hurts," who is right? Isn't it subjective? Granted, "The sky is blue" can be seen as true, but that's not really going to hurt a person?

Awareness I have lots of, and now anger at the imposition of things that control my life. I want to become something else rather then one of all the others. Then motivations of others astound and sicken me at the same time, for the simple fact that I am also a product of this environment. I wish to evolve because I am nothing as is everyone and everything else, good time bad all the same time and at the same time, death unattainable in life’s form of constant movement. I am bored and there no where to get to all levels of everything are set in stone. life’s challenge is stale and I am stuck. I want to be out and moving creating and beginning …..

Do you believe that there could be problems involved with trying to integrate spirituality with logic and reasoning? Or do you believe that, somewhere out there, there is a logical explanation for everything, even the spiritual things? Do you believe that by integrating the two, someone can come to a deeper understanding of the truth?
