It seems Ancestry.com has a monopoly on census records. If you want to look up ONE person, you have to sign up for a 14day "FREE trial." Actually, 14 days free on a subscription. Don't forget to call and cancel!!
Is there a site I can look up a 1860 census a "pay a fee as you go" type deal?

George Washinton was chosen to lead the Continental Army, and Thomas Jefferson was assigned the duty of writing the Declaration of Independence. Both men were from Virginia. How could you describe Jefferson's and Washington's assignments as POLITICAL decisions, instead of based only on their abilities?

I pencil-drew a number of drawings for a children book. I am wondering which method will be easier and more effective: coloring the drawings by hand first then scanning them in the computer OR scanning in the black/white drawings and doing digital coloring?
For the first option, should it be crayons or color pencils?
For the second option, is there an electronic paint pad/brush that can hook up to a USB port?

Nietzsche had an A to this Q so did alot of other philosophers before and after him. Socrates made fun of fools and sophists.

This is an informal version of a philosophy Q that so many of U informal unschooled philosophers prefer. Is it biological as in genetic? It just comes with your genetic package, does it?

How do you describe screaming...aside from writing 'ahhhhhhhh,' which of course is quite lame. I can describe it, but I haven't been able to get it to sound like she was filled with terror. Any ideas?
