I need some websites that I can get some information on this topic. the topic is "Was the story of the native Americans exclusively one of oppression and exploitation, or is there more to the story than that? how did they adapt to their world before the arrival of the Europeans, and what were some of the ways they reacted to the Europeans?"

I really need some help. I tried Google so don't suggest that. I did not find very much there.

...rather than actual subject matters of knowledge? For example, the stronger inclination to study the philosophies of math, music, sciences, etc rather than actually engaging in math, music, sciences, more or less to this extent. One may be an dabbler but not expert in anything and still carry on this "need" to engage in metanalyses.

Does this indicate anything about stamina/intelligence/industry? I would think that the activity of engaging in the metaanalysis of physics requires less than getting seriously involved in theoretical physics, for example.

I'm looking for a guitar that's potentially for some shows... I want a guitar I can be proud of but not spend the money for a Martin or anything like that. Is it possible to get a decent 12-string or steel string acoustic for around $400? What models, brands, etc.? I've been looking at Ovation, Takamine, and (for no particular reason) Seagull.

I want to write short stories and publish a book or two. I have writing experience, written many things and even had some poetry published.

However I feel everything, subject wise, has been done to death.

Please give me your new, different, interesting, thought provoking, completely abstract, off the wall, only in your head idea(s).

Thank you

I was reading about the recent archaeological discovery of a beekeeping industry in the Beit Shean Valley in Israel, dating from 3000 years ago or so. Which just so happens (I think) to be around the time of King Solomon.

The beekeeping = honey ... which led me to muse on Moses’ enticing prospectus in Exodus about Canaan being “a land flowing with milk and honey”.

So, then I began to read about the association of ideas involved in this “flowing with milk and honey” hyperbole in the Ancient World. And, lo and behold, all of a sudden I’m back to Solomon and Astarte (or “Ashtoreth” in the Bible). Because, it seems, the “flowing with milk and honey” phrase could have had sexual connotations for the Ancient Semites; and could have been particularly associated with that earth-mother type goddess, Astarte.

This is one of those situations where a little reading becomes a dangerous thing. Can anyone set me straight, please?

in fantasy and adventure books? It can be something as simple as "I like to see characters fight over the last bit of food" all the way to "I like the main plot to involve searching for an object." You can include dislikes also.

What I like in a fantasy/adventure book:
Humor. Anything that makes me laugh. Little fights and expressions is what really gets me smiling in a good book.
Dislikes:
Vampires and people with animal parts. Also modern fantasy books drive me up the wall! Getting lost on an island during a hurricane really gets me angry also. It has been done too many times!

If God is willing to stop evil, but not able, then he isn’t all powerful. If God is able to stop evil, but not willing, he is cruel. If he is both able and willing, there wouldn’t be evil in the world. And if he is not able or willing, he wouldn’t be a God.

So why is this thing that lets there be evil, or is cruel to us, or who isn’t all powerful, called a God?
