Consider only 250,000 Americans fought in the war, many of them may have died before having children, some not have children at all, and others whose descendents died out. Also how many people moved to America after the war. There are 300,000,000 citizens now, so what are the chances that those 300 million are direct descendents of those 250,000?

Personally I would guess somewhere around 10% or less are direct descendents, but indirectly I bet about 70% are related somehow to those rebels. My family began moving to America in 1610 three years after Jamestown, but my direct ancestor William came over shortly before the war and fought for Virginia.

Direct descendents, mind you. Not your great grandpa's brother's wife's ancestor, but your own ancestor. I found out my family tree last year. I'm the son of Rick, the son of Richard, son of Ray, son of Raymond, son of Dyonisius, son of Alfred, son of Barrett, son of William, fought for Virginia.

Economic success appears to thrive; but at what cost in moral and spiritual terms? Where does the wealth go anyway? Not to those who most deserve or need it; why must the system of a so-called civilisation still operate as this?

In my western civilizations class today we were talking about the ancient pyramids and someone asked how many are still standing today. My teacher didn't know the answer and everyone is still curious. Does anyone know? If so, please share where you found your information too. Thanks!

Do people overuse the word "amazing"? It seems as though someone is always asking "What camera takes amazing pictures" or "I took an amazing animal picture" or "I'm an amazing photographer..." . Could we have a moratorium on using "amazing" for a couple of weeks?

Throughout life there are times to lead, times to follow, times to share and times to be alone. This weekend, you be the guide. I will follow. Where will we go? What might I learn from the experience?

I'm just being lazy, and do not want to search all the photo places myself. If you could help that'd be great.
