I have read quite a bit of Stephen King and love some of his books such as Salems Lot, The Shining, The Stand, and Firestarter. I also have read some of Clive Barker books and enjoy the ones that have to do with horror - not fantasy. I also like H.P. LoveCraft and Richard Matheson. What are some of your favorite horror books or horror authors besides the ones mentioned above. I am trying to read some more interesting horror books. I am a 26 year old male and want horror books targeted towards adults.

The Glass Castle

I have a debate tomorrow, and if anyone could help me out a little bit, it'd be great. I'm currently looking into the Rachael v. Walker, Ralph v. Duncan, and John Keeton cases. Its hard for me to argue my point because most of the cases before dred scott were in favor of the slaves freedom under the "once free, always free" precedent! Any way I can argue against the precedent itself?

I like the Color Wonder markers, but there are few boxes that I can look inside to see which colours they have. I want to get all the colours, and maybe do some experimenting with them for some serious art projects because I like the way their ink looks on paper.

I act in a local downtown theater, and am absolutely in love with it. I spend most of my time thinking about it, and look forward to going all week. I am going to be in a production of 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe' starting Friday.

But if I ever wanted to become a professional actress - not necessarily famous, but do it for a living - where would I start? College major in theater?

The world today is largely driven by consumers. A company that is doing great, employing large numbers of people, making a great product or providing a great service and giving back to the community in a large way will go under if people don't like the product or service. People rate the success of their life by how much they own, they have a poor and incomplete life if they have little but they would have a better life if they had some more stuff, even if they have a great family and friends to support them. Even elections these days are won and lost largely by the state and status of the economy and how much money it puts into people back pocket instead of issues affecting other aspects of life.

So my question is, what would the world look like and how would it differ, both in economics and in social aspects as well, if the world we live in were less driven by economics, consumers and money?

Please explain your answers, focusing on the social aspects, changes and differences please.

Thanks.
