Arts & Humanities - 5 September 2007

I tried to last night but my wife had changed all the locks. The past seems to take on a life of its own. Things that have happened and places where we have lived and grown up take on a different quality when we look back from a distance created by time. Even when I drive by where I grew up it is like being where I have never been. You can't recapture the past, but it is fun to try, if only in our dreams.

I'm having trouble finding information on this.
Was Virginia mostly federalist or anti-federalist?
What were her main arguments for not ratifying the Constitution?
Which states ratified before her? After?

I've never seen the show.

Is Edwin supposed to be a man? like... ok. you know how in Hairspray, Edna is a woman (played by a man)... not a crossdresser.

Basically is Edwin a crossdresser or a man played by a woman?

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love -
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me
Yes! that was the reason
(as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In the sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

The degredation of the mind due to Alzheimer's disease proves that the mind and, resultantly, the human consciousness are both transient things.

Does this prove that most preconceived notions of an afterlife are fundamentally flawed? Most people believe that we will be able to perceive, evaluate and understand any kind of afterlife that may exist.

But clearly, as Alzheimers proves, the mind cannot possibly survive without a functioning human body. It is a possibility that a kind of eternal soul lives on, but, surely, if the consciousness dies then the thing that makes you an individual, self-aware human will cease also.

Opinions?

You sleep on a bed made of angels' wings
And you pity the frailty of all living things
You make black into night and swear you were right
Well I guess you know best you must you just cannot lie
You flirt with the idea of breaking a home
And then you call upon me when your heart gets broke
so then I pick you up from the ground once again
just to have you disrespect me in front of my friends
But when you walk out I still know you'll be back
And I'll be here waiting to pick up the slack
Cuz I know deep inside there's some feelings you hide
You don't wanna admit it but I see it in your eyes
So don't tell me you never wanna see me again
We both know it's a lie you'll be back before you left
And when you start acting your age then you'll see
It wasn't patience and love that made me do all these things
See I am mature and you're just like a child
and I hope when you grow up I don't get bored and tired
and have to trade you in for someone who's more wild
so just please stay stupid for a while

I have found, amongst various other vintage junk, A Decca Gramaphone (i'm pretty sure thats the name anyway) and a old book, The Complete works of William shakespere from 1912. and some various white star line bric-a-brac which i believe was on the titanic before its demise.

Does any antique buff out thier know the worth of the book and gramaphone?

Tears revolve around our eyes
As planets do the Sun
Nothing in Nature does not cry -
Gravity relinquishes None

Trouble not your Heart so much when
Asteroids hit the floor -
In Life 'tis always Mystery
- One fundamental law

Wings which now can Elevate
Once functioned to trap heat -
The Origin of Tears could be
- To cool Soul's made to weep -

Sartre was of the opinion that EVERYTHING an individual says or does, is a choice. He did not view this as a positive thing, but rather believed that we are "condemned" to be free. He believed that when a person faints at the sight of blood, it is because s/he willingly, though perhaps subconsciously, gives up, and is thus responsible at some level for his or her faint.

Some are of the opinion that just about nothing is a choice; that everything is determined by psychological, genetic, environmental, or nurture-related factors. The religious might say that God determines everything. They might believe that if a person murders another, it is because s/he was put in a position where due to the makeup of her/his brain, for that individual, there were NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES. This also goes for good deeds; a person might give to the poor because it's inherently in her/his nature to do so.

Do you agree with either extreme? Why?
