Ardbeg

Swing the scythe lively, lads
Harvest’s upon us now
Barleycorn’s brown, ready to malt
Fire the peat slowly
Spring water and grist to grind
To sweetwort in washback
Lively yeast is applied

Into the still goes the wash
Caldron will bring us low wine
Then into the spirit still
Last to the oaken barrels
Then stored by the sea
For a very long a time

The Yanks make good Bourbon
Tennessee fired oak style
Using the casks just one time
Send them to Scotland, men
We’ll store strong drink within
To be sipped on, in thirty years time

Critique

That’s…not…art!
It does not make my head hurt
It doesn’t make me do the ding dong dance

That’s…not…poetry
It failed to make me jump the ledge
There is no fun inside of this for me
No guns, no knives nor bigotry

That’s…not…painting
There’s no fire, there’s no evil, there’s no hating
You call this work of yours a triumph
This silly bit of hope and guidance…

The Inquisition stopped the Muslims from taking over Spain. From spain they would work their way through Europe. In the Eastern Churches the muslims were coming through the "back door" to the west. So if it weren't for the Inquistion you would be praying to Alah, reading an arabic Koran, and probably living under a dictatorship. Oh yes and the thing Shia Law.

that is bothered by Yahoo answers spelling this section as Theater rather than Theatre? I mean I know a lot of people don't know that there is a different and some even think the latter is simply a typo but it drives me crazy!

This isn't my opinion, I'm just playing devil's advocate, but I'm interested in people's thoughts.

I am in the 6th grade and I read at a 9th grade level. I am into almost any book as long as it is descriptive, and keeps your attention. I prefer newer books based in more moden times. I read alot, so i would LOVE a really thick book! (example: It took me a little over two weeks to read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.)

Thanks!

Will all social ills finally be solved?

This is my understanding: Utility uses people as means to an end. So long as more people are benefited in the end, utility justifies any means.
Deontology puts more value in the individual. We must take just means in order to achieve just ends.
So, if we're maximizing deontology, would it just mean that we're doing whatever it takes to value the most amount of people- without devaluing the human worth of any individual?But you'd think that regular deontology would want to benefit the most people, as well.

The LIVING LEGEND award that was given I think 3 years in a row and then just stopped. The winners were Charlie Pride, Conway Twitty, and George Jones. Not necessarially in that order anyway just wondering if any one remembered it and if anyone knows why it did not last.
