This bimettalism and free silver issue seems to have been one of the most important political issues in late 19th century USA, but I just can't understand it. Please explain what it was all about, in terms that can be understood by someone not well up in economics.

{This is purely fiction}



Acid rain falls down in vein
T, t, tappin’ at da window payne
Calling ma name
Tourchers ma brain
D,d,d,d,drivin’ me insane
To the rhythm of da tick tockin’ clock
Rested on ma mantel, pictures block
Of bodies and who they used to be
Burnin’ holes through ma soul
Laughin’ sickenin’ glee

Acid rain falls down in vein
T, t, tappin’ at da window payne
Ain’t it shame
I am to blame
K,k,k,killin’ them that way
To da rhythm of da shot gun banging hushed
Rested on ma mantel stained in blood
On bodies now that can no longer be
Burnin’ holes through ma soul
Laughin’ sickenin’ glee

I was reading some information about our Cold War bunkers, and part of the information read "useful in ensuring civillians couldn't access the bunker". These bastards were gonna let us fry? Thats just sick.

At the moment I do. Just like a lost sould drifting in the wild seas trying to find a way out with no idea which direction to go.

Sometimes I see an island full of beauty and stability, but it always ends up being a mirage, an illusion or I will land on it and then soon be tossed out into the open sea again to fight against the currents.

Although I am not sad about this, I find it exciting and wild. It is a wild ride full of surprises. I think I would be bored if I found that island and I coudln't escape from it so I guess its ok to be lost.

Do you ever feel like this or is it just me?

What in the world is wrong with me?
I'd sworn I wrote that right!
My pen goes down and writes around
The words I had in mind.
Yes, I edit all my work
And when I'm satisfied
Someone points out to me
"It's deny not d-n-e-y!"
Thank goodness for technology
At least now I can type
For I now have "spell-checker"
To keep my writings, right!

I have no name and have not seen
but. the places I have been
Thoughts of you and why you are
a mystery, a hidden sin

Another time and place perhaps,
a face to face to see that laugh
a smile I’ve carried in my mind
could I be warm, my distant half?

I could be wrong, I could be right
delightful wonder in minds eye
always wishing it could be
sadly come to and deny

A peaceful time I cherish much
although, knowing it’s a crush
someday, if not real I will see
the day when we just simply touch...

The darkness is consuming
I can feel the pressure of the silence
My soul feels like bursting
Hear pumping
Throbbing

Silver is the steel
Casting of a tiny shard of light
In the middle of the blackness
I steady my hand
Cutting

Brigh red blood s
Falls in quite drops
Bringing relief from the pain
I smile
Sighing

They dont understand
Shaking heads in disbelief
This is my disease, cross to bear
I finally i admit that i am
Addicted

is totally ridiculous and promotes answers such as 'yes', 'no' and 'maybe' rather than providing genuine opinions for questions that the asker wants to find out?

I will be very interested how many of you wags out there will answer this question in this way to get your 2 points.

I have already collected a lot of information on the web, but would like some input.

I am doing research on Christians claims for the flood. I want to compile prima facie evidence against the Noahic account that will put the controversy to an end.

As I lay, resting you tapped me upon the shoulder in that familiar way,
I inhaled and let you back into my soul,
As you walked through the colored corridors of my mind,
I wish you would remind me more often,
Just what we had planned to do,
This time around,
The world with its many tricks,
I’m satisfied to sit and watch,
To pretend that it’s all for my pleasure,
To twist my self into believing this new found truth,
True work comes from a true soul,
One that has the heart to reward itself,
And like a swift wind,
You rustled my leaves and went on your way,
I am only a tree you see,
I have no choice but to stay where I am,
Next time stay a little longer dear friend,
Together we can fly,
Perhaps someday I too shall be like the wind,
Free to play upon your curls and sing my song,
The tree in me knows from record,
The folly in such excitement,
It must be a sin,
Why? You come around to ask,
Well I am a tree and I should love to be a tree,
The simplicity of the wind,
It cannot be explained,
Some of us have the simplicity of the wind,
I wish I knew my true sin,
I would live to be a windy tree…

There had been many dangerous ideas in the past--the concept of 'zero', the heliocentric universe, the theory of evolution, the idea of a Messiah (it was dangerous to the ancient Romans), rock n roll, etc...

So, what is the most dangerous idea of all time?
