Dr Sam, Photoace or Dick Cheney?

I do like Dick but Mr Cheney seems to lack all forms of human sensitivity, Photoace and Dr Sam seem far more helpful.

i started ballet classes ( one per week) about 4 months ago, and found myself to be so inflexible it was almost like a joke. i still cant get past about a 90* angle when i do the splits to the side, but after less than 2 weeks of stretching i could do the splits to the front on both legs. i also have found that, although i have never stretched to do this or anything, i can put my legs out infront of me and lie down on them, tummy and all and touch my toes or whatever with no difficulty at all. when im standing in 1st, 2nd, or any other position of the feet, i can easily do a 180 degree turnout. infact, occasionally, i have to watch myself and make sure i dont overturn.
anyway, im not just bragging but as i am a very non athletic person, and ive never done dance before, is this very unusual, common or just lucky? i have always been very inflexible, but with the exception of the splits a la seconde i suddenly find girls in my class asking what i do to get so flexible? what have i done??

My question about a possible 9/11 came straight out of Newsmax on line. I don't even want that super consertative rag. It keeps popping up on my E-mail. It seems to exist to spread fear in the interest of the rich elite. But I would like to describe exactly what my question asked. I asked how many Americans want to live in constant fear waiting for the next group of Muslim fanatics to try again? I did not advocate mass murder or genocide of the entire Muslim world. I got accused of that in answer after answer. I would like to state this clearly. Wars are won by doing what has to be done to win them. They are won by concentration of force. A few mass murders who advocated that...Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, Lee, Grant, Sherman, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Patton.....

What I'm looking for is a place to post my written work so that I can get other people's opinions on them, kind of like a "peer review" that everyone used to do back in grade school. I'm assuming a place like that would be some sort of blog site. I enjoy writing in my free time so I was just looking for a place to get some feedback. Thanks in advance for the help. :-)

I have to discuss the topic of Magic and Darkness in the story of Othello; although I've read the book and have it infront of me I still have a hard time in finding what significant meanings and themes in the book relate to Magic and Darkness..

I know that the handkerchief has a magical significance but I don't think I know enough about it for a 5 page paper; also the use of darkness in the play confuses me; I know Iago is represented by this darkness; but what other Magic and Darkness related themes are in the play that are not as obvious? I need some very complexed arguments in my paper to pass this class.

My entire problem is coming up with a good argument and supporting it with enough facts without BSing the whole way through.

Those of you who know or even think you know the answer please help.

Thank you.
