It's probably been asked before but when you really think about it, are we better off now than we were in the era before the Internet. I grew up in the late 70's and 80's and things seemed so much more simple, if you needed information you wen't to the library and a computer was for writing papers so you didn't have to use a type writer. In the grand scheme of things are we better off having almost limitless information at our fingertips?

Further to the previous Q. Because Vietnam "kicked their ***" does that mean Vietnam is the most powerful? (It would in boxing)

How can you compare the Roman Empire to America? (Well America uses their alphabet and the Ottoman Empire's numerals)

With nukes aren't Russia, France, China, the U.K etc all capable of annihilating the U.S as unlikely as that'd be?

When has America ever suceeded militarily?

Compared to the failures : Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia, Cuba, Iran (special ops hostage rescue attempt), Nicaragua, Barbary Pirates (1800's). WWII (qualititively if not quantitively against Germany)

Surely in the hierarchy (adjusting for technology) America has to be way down? What do you think?

Not just any synonym, I'm trying to think of a specific word and it's just completely escaping me.

In the middle-ages and prior, before literacy was prevalent, there were people who would go around telling stories to people. They would tell them myths, legends, lore, and historic tales.

I know there's a name for these people, and I cannot think of it. I was thinking "madrigal" or "bard" - but both those words describe people who were musicians. I'm trying to think of the word for a straight-up storyteller.

Did anyone know that Kevin's wife Kyra Sedgwick is a direct decendant of the Boston Brahmin, Supreme Court Justices, Signers of the Declaration of Indepence and FDR's mentor? Also directly related to supermodels, governors, ambassadors, Pulitzer Prize winners and more.

I'm sure it's not as interesting to some as finding six degrees to Britney Spears - but I thought it was pretty cool to find it only took three degrees to George Washington. Can anybody else find any historical links?
