People are always asked to be proud of their culture and heritage - this could mean anything from their race, ethnic group, nationality, linguistic group, caste, etc.

Why does one have to be proud about something that he did not chose?

I'm proud of my adchievements that I made possible with my own efforts. I have lived obeying the laws of the society and paid back through my services for the protection it offers me. Why should I feel thankful and proud? Why does everybody feel that they should defend their culture?

Isn't the whole concept of culture serving to divide people by pitting one group against the other? If everybody considered themselves as individual first and last wouldn't there be more peace in the world?

I could use your help. I'm writing a book series very much like Cussler's Dirk Pitt books, and I got the entire first book all planned out EXCEPT the main character. I know who the bad guys are, what their sinister far-fetched plot is, and what will happen in the end battle. It is very Clive Cussler-ish, I just am lost when it comes to my main character. The ending is very Cusslerish though. Imagine the Sahara ending times 4.

The character basically needs to travel like Pitt does, happens to be in the area in time to save someone, then sniffs around and hunts down the sinister people. I just don't know what his job is in the book.

Right now I'm thinking of a zoologist, Steve Irwin type, but I'd like any suggestions.

Its a great book though - its a lot like Treasure or Inca Gold. The title is "Columbian Death". The main character's name is Trevor Knight. I'm on chapter 4 and need the main character to enter. Help! I'll love you forever!

It just seems like Tokyo would have been the biggest city, probably the head of government? Was the US trying to make a "limited" statement?

It seems more than Success and Infallibility, its the fallibilism that keeps the interest going. Is this the Divine Art performed by God puposefully to keep things moving with interest ?

The uncertainties of this way or that way seems more glamourous than the fixed way ..

Is this "Thou Divine Art That" ?

I'm quite partial to the "People can lick too". A little background on this for those that need it is as follows:
A woman is at home watching the news. The current story is that an escaped lunatic from the area asylum has escaped and been missing for nearly a day and is dangerous. She locks her doors and windows and goes to bed. With her dog under her bed, she goes to sleep. Her hand dangles over, as it often does and she feels her dog licking her hand. She sleeps on with little care. After some time, she is awoken by the sound of a constant dripping. Drowsily getting out of bed, she goes to the bathroom, thinking it a leaky faucet. She finds her dog, bloodied, hanging from the ceiling. Schocked she goes back into her bedroom, turning on the lights, she sees on the wall in blood "People can lick too". She then realizes, the lunatic is in the house and must have been there for some time...

It just looks awful, dull and flat, tried fiddling in CS3 and gave up. It's good for the trash basket, but thought I'd take the opportunity to ask you why it's like this first.

are controlling every aspect of peoples lives? Also, by questioning this, would this make a person at least a little free from that control?
