I'm using livejournal.com to write a book so that I can access and write in it from any computer (I travel alot). I read through thr terms of service, and it does state that "LiveJournal claims no ownership or control over any Content posted by its users. The author retains all patent, trademark, and copyright to all Content posted within available fields." I also have it set on private, so no one can see it except me. So, if by some slim chance I publish it one day, will this come back to haunt me for some reason?

I read this in high school and thought it was wierd enough but recently I read it again and I started seeing things that are true in society today. The book was first published in 1936 so it's been quite a few years. For example promisquity in women becoming acceptable, birth control, alternatives to pregnancy, dependancy on drugs, finding humor in suffering, materialism, conditioning through media and advertising, modern sex toys, anthrax use, nine year war (you figure Bush will have served eight years and office and perhaps one year to completely end it), and increase in prejudice based on social class. Does anyone else find this disturbing or can you think of any other comparisons in the book?

Do you believe in the Big Bang, God, or do you have your own theory?
I personally believe that the universe never actually began, but has just always been here- although the energy within it has been re-created an infinite number of times with the big-bangs and big-crunches.

I've been toying with changing my last name for years, ever since I found out, at the age of 32, that I was adopted. So, in light of some pretty serious recent events, I'm moving forward with my idea.
I'm married but separated and should be divorced, hopefully, by next Spring, if not earlier. I'm also in the Army. Will either of these issues be a roadblock for me?
What would be the best and most economical way to go about this?

Thanks

In the museum of hoaxes, there was a document that was supposedly a roman emperor that gavew authority to the church to rule the empire. Couple centuries later, it turned out to be a hoax. I do not know the exact details, however I was wondering what other historic examples with good proof such politicing were done in the church's early days in order to gain more political power.

When I walked into the kitchen, I snagged a strawberry pop tart off of the counter and hugged my mom good-bye. My sister Alyssa, who is 9, hated when I talked to her in the morning, so I didn't bother saying good-bye. I saw the bus pulling up to my house, and ran as fast as I could to catch it. Luckily, I made it just in time. I slouched into a seat next to my best guy friend, Chris. We had been friends since third grade, and always had something interesting to talk about. "Hey, loser." he joked. "Hey Chris." I replied. I sat down next to her and we talked for the whole bus ride while we made fun of “gansta” kids on our bus trying to dance.
When we arrived at school, I was greeted by the always annoying, Tia. "Oh my god, it’s Alex!" She squeaked. "Hey Tia" I mumbled. "ha-ha lacrosse was so much fun yesterday, and did you see Mike! Wow what a hottie, he’s obviously in love with me!” As I laughed to myself, I tried to fake a smile while I realized how conceited some people were.

i will add the rest on other questions so look at my pro*copyrighted*

"What is love?" I whispered to myself in the safety of my own room. "Oh please Alex...you have no idea." I yelled at myself in the mirror. I'm your average 13-year-old girl whose life is a mess. Middle school sucks and I'm a nobody on the social level. Plus, the guy I like has no idea that I exist. I'm not skinny and I'm not fat...nor am I pretty or ugly. I'm an average looking girl with straight brown hair and foggy green eyes. I have the greatest friends in the world, and I'd be nothing without them. I stared into the mirror, looking at myself hard, and long. Here we go, another great day of school...yeah I wish. I grabbed the first t-shirt I could find and a pair of old faded jeans. I threw my hair back in to my usual messy bun on the top of my head. Then I smeared my lips with watermelon crush, and put in a pair of huge hoop earrings. I was ready for another dramatic day of middle school.

- specifically I would like to know how many French were killed, given that they seem to be in denial that 130,000 Americans died on their shorelines to free them from the Nazis

I'm just starting off but I'm really ambitious, and I've always loved that part of the song because Robert Plant does an absolutely kick-*** job playing the harmonica. And I've been looking for the tabs or whatever harmonica people call them but I just can't seem to find anything. Help me!!!!!!!!!

I would like to thank JKrishnamurti for this insightful idea.
Since we look at the world and translate it into words in our own minds. That causes the world, rather than to exist on its own as it is, to become an interpretation.

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." Genesis 1:29-30

"The early Christian fathers adhered to a meatless regime...many early Christian groups supported the meatless way of life.

In fact, the writings of the early Church indicate that meat eating was not officially allowed until the 4th century, when the Emperor Constantine decided that his version of Christianity would be the version for everyone.

A meat eating interpretation of the Bible became the official creed of the Roman Empire, and vegetarian Christians had to practice in secret or risk being put to death for heresy.

Is it ironic that Pagan Rome has had such an influence upon present day Christianity?

Could you guys give me tips on this poem that I have written?
Like word choice, form, length, description, and stuff like that?
Thanks.

The city that never sleeps,
The city of lights,
In complete darkness.
The goosebumps still return,
Remembering that night,
In complete darkness.
