They call the place Hallowed Ground and no holier a place there'd be.
The God of Life and Love had touched the Earth there, and declared our souls were free.
Soon it came upon the hearts of men to possess this holy ground, and for the land of the God of Life and Love the horns of war were sound.
Each man thought he knew this God far better than his brother, Each held that his conviction must be triumphant, and all others put asunder.
The winds of time a tempest be. They blew the dust up from the land, as the blood of Christian crusaders, Muslims, and Jews soaked into the desert sand.
From then; two thousand years until now this place where religious pilgrims go has been the heart of ambitiuos Kings causing their subjects blood to flow.
They call the place Jerusalem (City of Peace); the home of Golgatha, the Dome of the Rock, and Temple Mount. In the name of thwe God of Life and Love they increase the body count.
Now this place called Hollowed Growned is causing even more to die,

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all around it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I have enjoyed two by Paul Feig, the creator of "Freaks & Geeks"
-Kick Me
-Superstud

But I can't pass up the memoir of Anne Frank.
Right now I am reading "The Magic Daughter" about living with Multiple Personality Disorder. Quite fascinating!
Do you have any to suggest?

If someone research information from different sources (internet, books, articles, etc.), and in their own words they want to make a book out of the information that they found (ex. how to take care of a dog ), do they have to list their sources or get permission even If they are not going to use quotes or pictures from any of the sources?

It was only yesturday that I hoped to find light

But merely is wasn't very bright

When I applied it to my life

It came to me a sharp as a knife

Forgetting not how the light looks

It is shinier than the brooks

So when I go to pray

I try to remember every day

That the brook of light so bright

Is much much different than night

So let not the knights lights blind you

But let it as so know that you will not forget the light from the knight

Therefore stay in the light

And try to with all your might

To know and to do what he has for you



What Do You Think Of It?

Just read all of the books in A Tale of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin and I'm desperate for some more fantasy that is as gritty and realistic. I've also read The Sword of Truth series recently, and while that was good, it didn't have the character depth that would have made it a great series.

If there was a book, let's say it's called World War III and it was a bible revelation-apocolyptic, end of the world story, and it was filled with fear, sadness and just straight up horror, would you read it?

TO HIM who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides 5
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images 10
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;—
Go forth under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings, while from all around— 15
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air—
Comes a still voice—Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears, 20
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go 25
To mix forever with the elements;
To be a brother to the insensible rock,
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. 30
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world,—with kings,
The powerful of the earth,—the wise, the good, 35
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods—rivers that move 40
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,—
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man! The golden sun, 45
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
