The Copenhagen Interpretation almost implies the existence of a "higher power" [an ultimate Observer, the first, setting the universe into existence.]

Granted, once he's done that,--by theory--he can do nothing with his new world but observe events unfolding randomly, based solely on probability?

I very much like the Harry Potter series except for two main aspects of the books:
1) J.K. Rowling has given way too much credit to Harry. In fact, hes probably the biggest jerk Ive ever encountered in fiction. I was reading Deathly Hallows and theres a certain incident where Ron appears after abandoning Harry and subsequently saves Harry's life. For all that, Harry appraises (as if hes qualified to appraise anybody) Ron: "You've sort of made up for it tonight. Getting the *spoiler*. Finishing off the *spoiler*. Saving my life."

2) Why in every book does Rowling have to introduce a new sort of "relic" that the books central plot revolves around? Clearly that reveals the fallibility of the overall plot.

At least if ppl dont entirely agree with the second objection, the first one should be quite evident given the plethora of damning evidence ever since the fifth book.

Progressivism and organized interest groups reflect the new political choices of Americans. In regards to reforming politics of the turn of the 20C, what in this list below does not belong?


Many cities demanded more efficient government. This led to clean up of local political factions; reforming politics at the grass roots level

Urban liberals advocated that state and federal governments intervene and support American citizens in time of economic need

The Federal government did not support legislation to intefere with America's right to consume alcohol or restrict immigration to the world's poor and hungry

Election ballots and politicians began to seek redress for issues important to them such as education reform

Just so you all know humour is ok


Credit for the idea for this question goto Mr Ryan.

So what annoys you?

Is it people that think they are better than you because they have a camera they will never be able to get good pixs out of but cost them a second mortgage?

Is it people who pay the doctor and builder but want to steal copyright work?

I own a hammer but wouldnt attempt to build a house, so why are we all "pros?" - you know "im a pro and i use a canix D1/d/200D EXS DRW TRL, unless im outdoors in the sun my pictures dont look to great. i spend an hour in photoshop and they still dont look as good as that guy with the old film camera who reads exposure off his hand, whats that about?" etc etc do these people convince or annoy you or do you just pity them?

Go on vent yourselfs of frustrations, be free go forth and answer

Many people object to doing things that they have to do, don't need to do, or don't want to do. In societies where we are taught the "pursuit of happiness", how do you justify doing things that are not in the pursuit of happiness?

Not to be on the sad side but did you lose that love, did you let it go, or did it run away.

Whether it was by a parent, beau, childhood friend, pet, or whoever impacted your life.

Please some words to describe how you felt when you were wrapped in love.

Much thanks.

As we get older we begin at some point to be dimminished by age and the sometimes devistating and near fatal effects some of our experiences have on our lives. We begin almost to free fall. Physically our bodies become frail and our memories are not reliable however many people gain a greater sense of humour and become wise and accepting and not as rigid in their thinking as when they were younger. Those very experiences and accumulated years add a dimension of softness, knowledge to their characters and their personalitys that they would otherwise not possess.
In this expanding universe travelling through space and floating in unmeasured time like an infant in its amniotic fluid we are
both learning/ expanding and shrinking/ dying simutaniously? How do we explain the near impossiblity of our llives?.The diametrically opposed conumdrum life presents? How do we apply a rational to such an incredible phenomonon? Any thoughts? anyone?

And I don't mean 'showing' it, but having it.

Doesn't having emotion predispose you to making irrational desisions? Like punching a wall out of 'anger', or not getting a prenuptial out of 'love', Cutting yourself out of 'sadness', things like that?
